F36Skive: Can you recall Sven’s first England XI in 2001?
Can you recall the first England XI selected by the late Sven Goran Eriksson when he took charge of the Three Lions in 2001?
Sven died on Monday having lived with pancreatic cancer, revealing his diagnosis in January this year.
The Swede managed around the world, taking charge of England in 2001, replacing Kevin Keegan and, in doing so, becoming the first foreigner to manage the national team.
His reign got off to a flying start, with Spain beaten 3-0 at Villa Park.
Can you recall his first XI? It featured a debutant at left-back. We don’t need the seven subs, among them: England legend Gavin McCann.
