THE family of Sven-Goran Eriksson has thanked the football world for making his last months “unforgettable.”

The Swede, best known in England for being the country’s first overseas manager between 2001 and 2006, died today aged 76 surrounded by his family.

He revealed in January that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and had been told he had “best case” a year to live.
