Veteran ex-football manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has passed at the age of 76 after a long battle with cancer.
He of the mild demeanour and more mistresses than I've had hot dinners, he'd forged a stellar reputation in Italian football, notably Lazio, which led to his eventual appointment as England Manager, becoming the first foreign manager to take the helm.
Leading the Golden Generation into three tournaments followed, and whilst he couldn't break the cycle of failure, no one will forget that 5-1 trouncing of Germany, and he'll always be remembered as being a true gentleman, unlike today's blowhards. R.I.P
