Former England Manager Sven-Goran Eriksson Has Died-Beckham Leads Tributes
Former England Manager Sven-Goran Eriksson Has Died at The Age of 76
'Forever Grateful' - Beckham Leads Eriksson Tributes
BBC 27 AUG 2024
David Beckham paid tribute to "true gentleman" Sven-Goran Eriksson and said he will be "forever grateful" to the former England manager, who has died aged 76.
Eriksson, the first non-British England manager, named Beckham as his captain after being appointed in 2001.
The Swede was manager for all but two of the 59 matches Beckham captained England.
"Sven, thank you for always being the person you have always been, passionate, caring, calm and a true gentleman," said the former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder.
"I will be forever grateful for you making me your captain."
