There is one story which sums up Sven Goran Eriksson. The former England manager was on a summer tour to Thailand in 2008 with Manchester City - his employers at the time - when he found out he was going to be sacked.

His German midfielder Dietmar Hamann was relaxing in the morning sun when he looked up from his lounger to see Eriksson appear with a silver tray, two glasses and a bottle of champagne.


“What are we celebrating?” asked Hamann, surprised at the prospect of a 10am tipple. “Life, Kaiser,” answered Eriksson with a smile. “We are celebrating life.”
Sadly, Eriksson’s is drawing to a close after his admission this week that he has been diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer. No-one can say it has not been a full one.

He has had a fantastic life and is dealing with this terrible news in the most dignified way possible .

I salute him .

The man was sheer class and I was proud to have him as our manager.

RIP Sven.

PS: I'd love to hear his story of Ulrika too.

Cancer can be such a brutal, cruel killer.
Awful ordeal for his family too.
