As a lifelong football fan, who’s seen more than my fair share of ups and downs in the beautiful game, I can say that Sven-Göran Eriksson was truly one of a kind.

I remember his time with England vividly – the highs, the lows, and everything in between. And now, with the release of the documentary “Sven”, we have a chance to delve deeper into the life and career of this remarkable man.

With interviews from some of the biggest names in football, including David Beckham and Wayne Rooney, this documentary promises to be a fascinating look at the life of one of the game’s most enigmatic figures.

And let’s not forget the touching message from Eriksson himself, reminding us all to live our lives to the fullest. As he said, “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.”

So, grab a pint and settle in for a heartwarming and insightful journey into the life of Sven-Göran Eriksson. And if you’re feeling a bit emotional at the end, don’t worry – I always find that a good game of FIFA helps to clear the head.

You can now stream “Sven,” a documentary chronicling the life of the late Sven-Göran Eriksson, on Amazon Prime Video.

I’m sharing some sad news as a gamer today. Sven-Göran Eriksson, once a renowned footballer and team manager for the England national squad from 2001 to 2006, sadly passed away on Monday at the age of 76 after a long fight against pancreatic cancer.

As a devoted fan, I’ve taken it upon myself to express my admiration for the late manager who graced Lazio and Benfica with his success, following his unfortunate demise. Now, an opportunity presents itself for us to delve deeper into Eriksson’s life story through a comprehensive documentary titled “Sven“.

“Do you believe you’ve learned everything there is to know about Sven-Goran Eriksson? You might want to reconsider,” is the tagline. “This is an extraordinary tale about England’s most enigmatic coach, chronicling his meteoric rise and scandalous fall, all while grappling with the poignant and emotional journey of Sven’s terminal cancer diagnosis.”

This film, orchestrated by Claudia Corbisiero, showcases conversations from a variety of Eriksson’s associates and previous athletes such as David Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Roberto Mancini, and Kasper Schmeichel. Additionally, his family makes an appearance in the movie.

The closing scene features a touching message from Eriksson, as he shares (via AOL): “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,’

However, not everyone may feel the same way. I would like to be remembered as a person who always did his best. Don’t worry, just smile. Thank you, coaches, players, and spectators, it was an amazing experience. Take good care of yourself and your life. Make the most of it. Goodbye.

After being launched on Friday (August 23), various reviews have emerged, with City AM commenting: “The humble man from a tiny Swedish town was deeply connected to the culture of the 2000s, so even his harshest critics will likely feel some sorrow at this poignant farewell.”

Sven is available to watch on Prime Video.
