Sven Goran Eriksson diagnosed with terminal cancer

[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.

Awful news..

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.

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.

Hope he gets past this horrible affliction. )(

Correct mate, IFK Gothenburg.

Hey, cancer, leave our Sven alone.

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.

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.
