Sven-Goran Eriksson lived his boyhood dream by managing Liverpool in a legends game at Anfield and now he looks to take a step back from public life amid his terminal cancer diagnosis.

Speaking at the end of his new documentary film, ‘Sven’, the 76-year-old said (via BBC Sport): “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.
