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.
