    Pancreatic cancer is so brutal. Lost my grandmother to it in 2020. One minute she was talkative and independent, the next she was in hospice. R.I.P. Sven 🙁

    Happy memories of him taking over as England manager, when it looked like we wouldn’t qualify for the World Cup after Keegans stint.

    Winning 5-1 in Germany, the Beckham free kick against Greece that got us there, beating Argentina in the group stages, then Denmark 3-0, Owens goal against Brazil, then losing 2-1.

    Says in the reports that his dad is still alive, also called Sven. Born in 1929.

    Rest in peace Sven. A top shagger in football management and lovely guy too by all accounts.

  4. He was a much better manager than a lot of the English press give him credit for. RIP.

  5. I couldn’t believe how ill he looked in the documentary, cancer is a horrible disease.

    Truly a fascinating man, and I say that as someone not really that invested in the sportsball

  6. Last night I started his documentary on prime then got bored and watched something else.. and now, I read this—Rest in Peace, I’m glad you had a happy and successful life, and I’m sorry I didn’t watch your documentary.

  7. That 5-1 win over Germany was an insane match and what I remember him for. Shame he could not get the likes of Gerrard Lampard, Ferdinand etc. to leave their egos at the door and get them to gel as a team.
