RIP.
A lovely bloke. Been trying to find the picture he posed for with a "New Meadow Now!" t-shirt for Matt Ashton but to no avail. Anyone got it?

Certainly packed a lot into his life both on and off the pitch. Respect. RIP.

Even for managers who have won European club trophies and coached at World Cups, football can still be about simple dreams. For Sven-Goran Eriksson, a lifelong wish came true at Anfield and he wept in appreciation.
As memories go, managing Liverpool – even a Liverpool Legends side – to a 4-2 win over Ajax represented a special box belatedly ticked for a boyhood Liverpool fan.
It was only a charity game for the club’s foundation but there were still nigh-on 60,000 people inside the ground and as he embarked on a poignant lap of honour after the game with the two teams, they made sure he knew how they felt.
In the background Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds played. “Don’t worry about a thing…” For 90 wonderful minutes, Eriksson’s only concern was masterminding a win which, in the grand scheme of things, did not matter at all.
“I was crying a little bit,” he admitted. “People singing, a good win…it was beautiful.
“That will be a huge memory in life. To sit on the bench for Liverpool has been my dream my whole life and now it’s happened. Thank you Liverpool for giving me this opportunity.
“Liverpool was my dream club all my life. Even when I had England I also supported Liverpool but I couldn’t say it at that time!
“It’s a good finish, Liverpool. It can’t be much better than that.”
Daily Telegraph.
