Sven Goran Eriksson | Passes away from cancer aged 76 (p 32)

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Most probably less than one year to live after being diagnosed with cancer. Sad news.

Sweden’s biggest football manager on international level. Had his flaws obviously but someone I warmed to as he’s managed my Swedish team to Europa glory and obviously his connection to City and also the England national team.

 

[blue by birth]

Awful news..

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Dreadful. Feel for him and his loved ones. Bloody horrid illness. Wish him the best as possible under the circumstances for his remaining. X

IFK Gothenburg? I used to date a Swedish girl and that’s who she supported.

It was a strange season in many ways but I largely look at his time at City with fondness. I can still see Geovanni’s goal v West Ham going in now.

Very sad news about Sven.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Very bad news indeed. That man gave us a glimmer of hope for a while and behaved with immense dignity at our club. Really liked him at City, still like him, terrible to hear, and hope he makes the most of how long he has got. Not forgetting he gave us our first win at the swamp and double over the rags in decades.

 

[Dribble]

Hope he gets past this horrible affliction. )(

Correct mate, IFK Gothenburg.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Hey, cancer, leave our Sven alone.

 

[citytill1die84]

So sad :( I loved Sven for me our 1st high profile manager. Boro away battered 8-1 and we still wanted him to stay.

I wish him all the luck in the world.

 

[Ric]

Sad news. I loved the season he had in charge of us. Helped restore some pride and added some much needed excitement after the Pearce years. An absolute gentleman too.

 

[TonyM]

If its a year left for him I hope its not one of pain or suffering. I hope it's a year of laughter and love with his friends and family.

A great man.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

One of footballs gentlemen. Loved it when we appointed him. Loved his time as England boss, too.

Terrible, terrible news. I hope the time he has left is spent with loved ones and that he is as comfortable as possible.

 

[discopop]

Horrible news, a year of mainly hope while he was with us and seemed a genuine nice guy and was a very good manager. Hope he somehow beats the shitty disease if not has a gentle ending.

 

[East Level 2]

His season in charge was a breath of fresh air after the Pearce era. And he gave us our first double against the rags for over 35 years.
He also nailed some lovely ladies in his time.

 

[HelloCity]

Had an interesting love life, but as far as football is concerned, he always handled himself with total class.

Thus making him a legend, good luck to you sven.

 

[Norbiton]

Ah, that’s terrible news. That first game at West Ham when we suddenly looked like a team that could score goals will always be one of my favourites

 

[hammocity]

There’s always a bit of hope, the woman in this article is very good friends with one of my mates who goes on our coach to the games, she’s been with us a couple of times, the article is from 2021 but she’s still going strong and living a normal life. Hopefully something similar can help Sven, I’m sure he’ll get the very best treatment going.

An absolute gentleman who brought back some pride into our club after the Pearce era.

Absolutely devastating news.

Hope he gets past this horrible affliction. )(

He's announced it's terminal so unfortunately that's not going to happen.

Remember really enjoying watching City again when he became manager after the truly dour Pearce years. You never really knew what you was going to get but it was never dull!! Plus he beat the rags home and away.

I wish him and his family all the best in these difficult times
