We Should All Raise A Glass To Sven

The BBC has a very matter-of-fact article on the death of Sven-Goran Eriksson, which is entitled Former England Manager Eriksson Dies Aged 76.

The article finishes with these words from Sven.

I hope you will remember me as a positive guy trying to do everything he could do.

“Don’t be sorry, smile. Thank you for everything, coaches, players, the crowds, it’s been fantastic. Take care of yourself and take care of your life. And live it.

There are no major fixtures today, but it will be interesting to see how he is remembered by fans, at the weekend!

  1. He will definitely be well remembered here in Manchester.

  2. I think it could be a bit of a wake at Old Trafford on Sunday, when Liverpool visit.

    After all, Sven had a 100 % record managing Liverpool.

    I went to Stafford yesterday. The Class 350 going North had terrible seats, but the Class 390 going back was much better.

    There’s life in the Pendelinos yet!

    Perhaps we ought to have another lunch. I want to look at the work on the Hope Valley Line. I could go up to Sheffield, be in Manchester for a late lunch and go back in the afternoon.

    I used to hate the Pend3elinos, but Alstom have done a superb job updating them.
