Sven-Goran Eriksson

[duncs pigeon]

Grew up on that Sampdoria team, he was a top class manager, far better than clueless England fans credit him with, who seemed a decent sort.


The dignity and bravery he is handling this with is very admirable.

Beg to differ with that mate. I was at his last home game before the 2006 World Cup, he was given a standing ovation at the end of the game. It was media led for him to get replaced. Iirc, he made a sarcastic comment to the media after the game about ' maybe the fans do like me'

Sounds lined up to manage a legends match not far from Goodison in the near future. Doesn't hurt anyone, and if it pulls a few quid in for the associated charity all the better. Hope he makes it to his dream, had well and truly fallen out with england by his tenure but that wasn't down to him and in fact he came a cropper for the very same reason (the scum media in britain).

It gives @Kurt. plenty of time to work on his 'death' comment.

Here yer go @Kurt. …

SGE has asked his old England team to lower his coffin in to the grave so they can let him down one last time

Clearly had a way with the ladies too

Apparently on his way to his final press conference when he was sacked as England manager, he asked his driver who was/is the owner of the legs of the “Pretty Polly“ tights advert

Another one claimed by the kopites. They really do revel in death like no other.

Who would you rather have?

Sven the ladies man, like a rat up a drain pipe.

Or, Gareth in his M&S three piece suit?

 

[Tigger]

How!?!

Turned into make a wish foundation to let him live out his dream of managing them for one game.

Proper quality team he put together at Lazio at the end of the 90s.
