00:00The football agent called me,
00:02would you be interested in the England job?
00:04I said, you're joking, you know that's impossible.
00:07A foreign agent can never be a manager of England.
00:11When you have the job, you feel physically
00:14that you have 65 million people pushing you.
00:18Come on, Sölden.
00:19Listen to this, Germany 1, England 5.
00:23That makes it incredible.
00:26I loved it.
00:27Every day.
00:28And that's a beautiful time.
00:31And England are out of the World Cup.
00:34This will be Sven-Johan Eriksson's last game.
00:39I've been a lucky man because I've been living in many countries.
00:43I've been coaching a lot of good football players.
00:46So you can't really ask much more than that.
00:56A true gentleman to the end.
00:58Former England manager Sven-Johan Eriksson
01:01died this week at the age of 76.
01:03Everyone at Match Of The Day sends their condolences
01:06to Sven's friends and family.
01:08A lovely man, and he will be missed.
