Sven-Goran Eriksson’s Emotional Farewell to the World
In a heartwarming and emotional goodbye, Sven-Goran Eriksson, the former England manager, is taking his final bow from the world. Eriksson, 76, revealed in January that he had been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, and fans have been flocking to catch a glimpse of him in his final weeks.
A Lifelong Dream Fulfilled
The Swede fulfilled a lifelong dream of managing a Liverpool team at Anfield, and with his family by his side, he was visibly moved by the response from the fans. Eriksson has also visited the stadiums of his former teams, including Gothenburg, Lazio, Sampdoria, and Benfica, where he received an incredible show of support from the crowd.
A Chance to Reflect
Now, Eriksson has shared a deeply personal story of his life in a moving new documentary on Prime Video, titled Sven. In the feature-length film, he opens up about the highs and lows of his career, including his heartbreaking diagnosis. Alongside special guest appearances from David Beckham and Wayne Rooney, Eriksson offers a poignant reflection on life and its mysteries.
A Message to the World
As the documentary comes to a close, Eriksson delivers a powerful message to the world, urging fans to remember him as a positive person who lived life to the fullest.
"I had a good life. I think we are all scared of the day when we die, but life is about death as well. You have to learn to accept it for what it is. Hopefully, at the end, people will say, yeah, he was a good man, but everyone will not say that."
"But 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. And live it. Bye."
