I feel sad but I am happy to have known Sven and know that I can still see him. This is my reaction.”He is such a tremendous person.”Lake Fryken is beautiful. It is 90 kilometres long from south to north and it is a beautiful landscape. You can see that in the pictures. You can definitely fish in that lake too.”But sadly his condition does not allow Sven to do that any more. It is a hard time for him.”FAMILY BONDSDuring his gruelling battle with the disease, Eriksson opened up about how he healed his relationship with his children.When he was rushed to intensive care, his daughter Lina called her brother Johan to tell him: “Dad is in the emergency room. And he’s not in a good way.”The family went into “panic mode” when they discovered that Eriksson had suffered five strokes.Even doctors were left in tears when delivering the dire news.Son Johan, 45, who now works as a football agent and Lina, 37 both rallied behind him during his illness and appeared in the documentary.It’s only very recently that I’ve been able to reconnect with dad and to have a very different relationship with him than I had had as a teenagerLinda ErikssonAmazon documentaryIn the film, Eriksson was candid about his parenting choices during the breakdown of his marriage.He said: “When you get divorced, you feel bad – and I did. At that time I don’t think I was a great dad. But before that and after that I guess I was okay. “It’s good to see that the children found the right way and have a good life. I am proud of them. Extremely proud.”Lina also talked about reconnecting with her father and how difficult it was to see him struggle.She said: “He’s a very black-and-white person when it comes to how he’s feeling. Everything’s good, or it’s s**t.”Every time coming back to the house, I see the clear difference in deteriorating. That’s really, really hard to see.””I think it has taken time to process and I think he has come a long way now than initially”, Lina added.”It’s only very recently that I’ve been able to reconnect with dad and to have a very different relationship with him than I had had as a teenager.”You realise the value of life and that what you thought was important is really not that important.”Symptoms of pancreatic cancerPANCREATIC cancer doesn’t always cause symptoms in its early stages. As the cancer grows and you do begin to show signs, these may come and go and be unspecific, making it hard to diagnose, according to Pancreatic Cancer UK. Common symptoms include: Indigestion – a painful, burning feeling in your chest with an unpleasant taste in your mouth Tummy or back pain – it may start as general discomfort or tenderness in the tummy area and spread to the back, which get worse lying down and feel better is you sit forward Diarrhoea and constipation – see a GP if you have runny poos for more than seven days, especially if you’ve lost weight as wellSteatorrhoea – pale, oily poo that’s bulky, smells horrible and floats, making it hard to flush Losing a lot of weight without meaning toJaundice – yellow skin and eyes, as well as dark pee, pale poo and itchy skin Speaking of the diagnosis himself, Eriksson said: “It was a shock. It’s one of those which will not go away.”But you can slow them down hopefully. I have no pain but I know it’s there. One day it will take you. Before that day, live instead of sitting down thinking about what and when it will happen.”I always feel bad to plan the future.”I take it as it comes. I know what I have and I know life will not last forever. Far away from that but I’m okay.”Eriksson bravely undertook treatment that helped slow down the progression of his cancer.”The medicine… we don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m sort of scared. It takes a little bit of time before we can accept it. I’m still here,” he said.Daughter Lina also spoke about her father’s previous fears of his treatment being stopped.”He really wants to continue with the treatment to try and stop the growth of the cancer as much as possible”, she said.”So for him, any kind of side effect or challenge or anything like that, he just tries to fight it because he’s so scared that they will stop the treatment for him.”In a touching and emotional moment, she added: “It’s hard to imagine life without him.”Sven will be rightly recognised and forever remembered for his significant work with the England team, and for his wider contribution to the gameCurrent FA chief executive Mark BullinghamMeanwhile, his partner of the last 15 years, Yaniseth del Carmen Bravo Mendoza, also stood by his side in the final days. “I’m trying to be calm for his sake because he’s making such a huge effort”, she said in the documentary. “We’ve been together fifteen years and I’m hoping that we’ll be together for many years to come. I’ll never lose this hope. I can’t.”Due to his health issues, Eriksson was sadly forced to step down as sporting director at Swedish club Karlstad in February 2023.After bravely announcing his cancer diagnosis, he was granted his lifelong wish when he led out Liverpool Legends, as they played in a charity match against Ajax at Anfield in March.Revealing his illness in January, Eriksson told P1: “Everyone understands that I have an illness that is not good.”Everyone guesses it’s cancer and it is. But I have to fight as long as I can.”When asked about the prognosis, Eriksson said: “You can’t be absolutely sure. It is better not to think about it.”But you can trick your brain. See the positive in things, don’t wallow in adversity, because this is the biggest adversity of course, but make something good out of it.”Heartbreaking tribute in fullA statement from his children Lina and Johan Eriksson today read: “Our father Sven-Goran Eriksson fell asleep peacefully in his home at Björkefors outside Sunne this morning. He has for a long time fought bravely with his illness, but now it came to an end.”Our thoughts go out to Sven-Goran’s father Sven; girlfriend Yaniseth and her son Alcides; to his brother Lasse and wife Jumnong, as well as to all good friends and acquaintances in Sweden and around the world.”Dad told us at the beginning of this year about his serious illness and received an amazing response from friends and football fans around Europe. He was invited to several football teams in England, Italy, Portugal and Sweden.”They shared their love for football and for dad. It was unforgettable for both him and us. He expressed his appreciation and joy and stated that such beautiful words are usually only uttered when someone has died.”The children added: “We have shared his gratitude and got to experience the wonderful meetings between him, football and all his friends. We thank everyone for these positive memories and your support during his illness”We hope that you will remember Svennis as the good and positive person he always was both in public and at home with us.”‘TRUE GENTLEMAN’ During Eriksson’s time at the helm, England’s “Golden Generation” went from 17th in the world rankings to fifth.Football Association patron Prince William today paid tribute to him as a “true gentleman of the game”.The England fans’ group Free Lions also paid a touching tribute on X: “RIP Sven.

He gave all England fans such special memories. No one can ever forget the 5-1 victory in Munich against Germany under Sven’s guidance.READ MORE SUN STORIES”Sven will be rightly recognised and forever remembered for his significant work with the England team, and for his wider contribution to the game.”On behalf of my colleagues at the FA, past and present, our thoughts are with his friends and family today. He will be much missed, and we will pay tribute to him when we play Finland at Wembley next month.””Sven was a good coach… better than he seems, says SunSport experts”SunSport’s Shaun Custis and Martin Lipton discussed Sven-Goran Eriksson’s England legacy following his death aged 76.Custis: “He was the most polite, civil manager I’ve ever dealt with in my life.”Lipton: “There are many managers who are prone to paroxysms of aggravation and screaming matches.”You can’t imagine Sven ever raising his voice, let alone having a row with someone. He was a gentle man and a gentleman throughout his dealings with us certainly. And I think that always came across from the very outset.”He was clearly a quite calm, unflappable character and he wasn’t going to let anything perturb him no matter what it was. No matter what questions were thrown at him, no matter what stick he got. He had this veneer of utter tranquillity.”Custis: “There was a lot of mystery to him. You weren’t reading things about him every two minutes online as you would do now but he came in and he got off to a great start with that 3-0 win over Spain.”Lipton: “He just loved being around football, didn’t he that was the thing.”He didn’t want to give it up… He actually, genuinely loved being around football players, being a manager and all the trappings of that and just being important. Because he enjoyed being Sven-Goran Eriksson – football manager.”Lipton: “He brought back a belief in the England team in that period, he gave us a night we’ll never forget and oversaw the real change in the culture of English football in that it became more celebrity in many ways.”The players became bigger than they’d ever been and he managed to keep that under a degree of wraps… He was a better manager than I thought he was at the time.”Eriksson’s partner of the last 15 years, Yaniseth del Carmen Bravo Mendoza, stood by his side in the final daysCredit: AlamyDuring Eriksson’s time at the helm, England’s ‘Golden Generation’ went from 17th in the world rankings to fifthCredit: ReutersHe has won 18 trophies in an incredible career that has spanned decadesCredit: Reuters More

In January, he stunned the world by revealing that he had “about a year to live”.And in a new heart-wrenching Amazon Prime documentary, set to premiere today, Sven opens up about his incredible life and career and coming to terms with having months to live.READ MORE FEATURES Reflecting on receiving the agonising diagnosis from his home in Sunne, Sweden, Sven says: “It was a shock.

I’ll never lose this hope. I can’t.”Yaniseth has been a source of support for Sven and continues to stand by his side in his last days.

He talked to me about poetry, he talked to me about art.“He was saying how he did yoga and things like that.“And I just fell in love with him, I guess.

At first, the FA denied it but emails not only proved it but confirmed that she also had a relationship with the FA chief Mark Palios.Sven, 76, says: “I felt very sorry for her. She lost the job and two members of the FA lost the job.”Faria signed two deals to sell her story for £300,000 after she had resigned — on the advice of Sven.But she was hurt by being portrayed as a “disgusting gold digger person”. She says on the show: “I’m the person that’s the bad person, and I was the scapegoat for them to be relieved of any responsibility.”Incredible careerSven has had the life and career most football coaches can only dream ofCredit: GettySven has had a successful career as a manager with 18 trophies to his nameCredit: RexSven is one of the most respected coaches in all of the sport and has won the admiration of players such as David Beckham and Wayne Rooney.

I’m not ready to sit down and discuss things with her yet.“I feel I would get emotional and angry and I could say things I might regret.”Chloe had previously been assured that influencer Lauryn had resumed contact with Walker, 34, only so he could see their first son Kairo without his wife Annie Kilner finding out.READ MORE LAURYN GOODMANBut Chloe said: “I was shocked when I found out Lauryn was pregnant a second time because I didn’t know they had rekindled things.“I knew Kyle had been seeing Kairo privately and I was happy because all children should have a father in their lives.“I hadn’t asked him if he was back seeing my sister, because I’d assumed nothing was happening.“Lauryn hadn’t told me either. I told her, ‘I have no sympathy for you and Kyle now.’Most read in Football“That was the start of our relationship becoming strained.”Chloe, 31, has since tried to ensure her children Isla, four, and two-year-old Hudson maintain a relationship with their cousins at the same time as trying to protect her own family.Kyle Walker tried to meet Lauryn Goodman in a hotel room DAYS before saying their relationship was a mistakeBut today she reveals that she expressed concern for both Lauryn and her son’s safety when she saw they had flown to the Euros in Germany in June, with four-year-old Kairo wearing his dad’s favoured number two shirt.She also argued with Lauryn about how she informed 32-year-old Annie on Boxing Day last year that Walker was the father of her daughter Kinara.Lauryn’s text message to Annie sparked such a bitter war of words that former Celebrity Big Brother star Chloe has been deluged with vile abuse on social media along with Lauryn.In June, she made the decision to disinvite her sister from her wedding in Portugal to Swindon Town footballer Grant Hall, 32.Lauryn was due to be her bridesmaid while her children would have been page boy and flower girl — but the sisters have not discussed the situation since.Celebrity Big Brother star Chloe Goodman told sister Lauryn she had no sympathy for her after having a second child with WalkerCredit: Ben O’Connor/The SunWedding banChloe is giving this interview to set the record straight on their falling out — and to call on £160,000-a-week Walker, who also has four children with Annie, to take more responsibility.Mum-of-two Chloe said: “Kyle has stayed quiet and let the two women go at each other — and people always want to blame the woman. But bringing a child into the world is a shared responsibility.“Kyle and Lauryn are two adults. They both made choices and they should both take accountability for them. And the fact is that Annie, Kyle and Lauryn have all chosen to be in this situation. “My sister lives down the road from me and we see each other when my mum suggests I pop over with the kids.“But we haven’t properly spoken since she told Annie about Kinara on Boxing Day as I didn’t condone that. “Our relationship became strained over all the tit-for-tat and how she has acted.”I stand by my decision because I don’t think the wedding was the best place for Kairo and Kinara and I will explain that to them when they are olderChloe GoodmanChloe’s friendship with Walker dates back to when she was an 18-year-old model clubbing in London. She had become part of the footballer’s friendship circle and introduced him to Lauryn. In 2019 Walker was thrown out of his £3.5million Cheshire mansion after being accused of romping with Ex on the Beach star Laura Brown.Chloe said: “I knew that Lauryn was there for Kyle as a friend when Annie kicked him out and that led to them becoming closer.“But I didn’t know they had become more than friends until Lauryn rang me and told me she was pregnant with Kairo.“I asked, ‘Who is the dad?’ She told me it was Kyle and I was in shock. However, once the news sunk in, I was delighted. “All children deserve to be celebrated and Kairo was such a beautiful baby.“Lauryn hadn’t done anything wrong at this point. He was single and she had helped him through a hard time and a baby came of it.“Kyle eventually went back to Annie, which was expected as they had been together for so long, and things calmed down for a while.“Grant proposed to me in 2019 and we started planning the wedding in 2022.“We’re a close knit family and I asked Lauryn to be my bridesmaid. But in the build-up to the wedding we just weren’t getting on.“It’s like having a friend that will never take your advice and you have to suffer the consequences.“I eventually realised I had to be selfish to protect my own family.“I stand by my decision because I don’t think the wedding was the best place for Kairo and Kinara and I will explain that to them when they are older.“Lauryn and I were constantly arguing about multiple things. I didn’t agree with the decision to take the kids to the Euros because it was not safe for them given everything that was going on.“I do feel awful and I wish I could have had them all there, but I know I made the right decision.”Chloe says she has tried to ensure her own children have a good relationship with their cousinsCredit: Instagram @lauryngoodman91Court battleLast month, Chloe was left shocked again after a judge accused Lauryn of “insatiable greed” and of using Walker as an “open-ended cheque book”.A court heard that as well as £150,000 in annual maintenance, Lauryn had demanded a £31,000 astroturf pitch for one-year-old Kinara, as well as £33,000 for air conditioning at her seven-bedroom mansion in Hove, Sussex.At the end of the day the most important thing is that six innocent children are at the heart of thisChloe GoodmanChloe said: “To me the demands showed she was angry and hurt and was going for the jugular.“She’s been seen as the bad person and that’s justified with some of her actions so she probably thinks she has nothing to lose.“And people are looking at this from the view of an ordinary household income and saying, ‘That’s a disgraceful amount of money.’ “I’m not excusing her behaviour and there’s a lot that she’s done that I struggle with and that upsets me.“I often want to speak out — and if I bite my tongue people criticise me for remaining silent.“I’m damned if I speak and damned if I stay quiet because everyone has an opinion on this.READ MORE SUN STORIES“At the end of the day the most important thing is that six innocent children are at the heart of this.“I fear people have lost sight of that fact.”Lauryn explosively revealed Kyle was the father of her second child late last yearCredit: Tim StewartTimeline of 5yrs of tots, rows and texts2019: Lauryn comforts Kyle Walker following his split from Annie Kilner.
