    By Holly Patrick,

    3 hours ago

    Sven-Goran Eriksson received a standing ovation as he walked out onto the pitch as a manager for the last time in March 2024 before his death.

    The former England boss coached his beloved Liverpool in a "Legends" match at Anfield, where he received rapturous applause from fans.

    Footage of the match resurfaced after Eriksson passed away on Monday, 26 August, following a terminal cancer diagnosis.

    He shared in January that he was approaching the end of his life and would have a year left to live in a "best case" scenario.
