As a Scot, I should probably wheesht. But heard a Swedish journalist talking about Eriksson, yesterday, and the Swedes put him above Ibrahimovic as a footballing hero (apparently). Spoke of Eriksson's charm, aye with the ladies, but also with the nuts & bolts of a club (the cleaners, the catering staff, the groundsmen etc ): that every employee was equally important. Got to respect that. The England players who played under him seem genuinely grateful to him. Fair enough. Rest well, Mr Eriksson.
