While playing football in a video, he showed off some amazing skills and people praised him.

The video was shared on YouTube by Afrimax with a short narration which goes:

"This man is the most inspirational man I've ever seen. Eric was so unfortunate and was born without limbs.
"In other words, he has no legs or arms. But he did not make his disability an excuse. He learnt to defend himself and did not allow his disability to become a barrier to his dreams of becoming an artist.
"Evidently, he is a very good artist. His dream of being a footballer did not also die. He has a lot of skills in football. He is an excellent example that disability is not in ability."
