Way to make everyone feel old there mate. Cancer is a f***ing kernt lost my mam to it, fought it myself all the best Sven.

 

[fredthefan]

Poor bugger, seems a decent fella. Keep fighting lad.

 

[DieselBert]

His post England career detracts from how good he was prior to managing us. He did really well at Gothenburg, Benfica, Sampdoria and Lazio. Good luck to him, i hope his final days are well lived and pain free

My first England manager.

How many caps you get mate?

 

[The Situation]

Ugh, awful news to wake up to that.

I was watching Premier League Years over the last couple of days and enjoyed looking back at his 2007/2008 season with City.

Elano, Geovanni, Petrov, Corluka etc. Canny nostaglic.

There's a really good BBC Sounds podcast series about his (crazy) time at Notts County which is well worth a listen and Sven is a contributor on it:
