Robbie Fowler reveals the 'call has gone in' for Sven-Goran Eriksson to take charge of Liverpool legends match... after the terminally-ill former England boss revealed he 'always wished' to manage the Reds

Robbie Fowler has claimed that the 'call has gone in' for Sven-Goran Eriksson to take charge of Liverpool's charity legends match against Ajax in March.

Supporters have been calling for the former England boss to be given the chance to manage the club he supports after revealing he has terminal pancreatic cancer.

Eriksson said he has 'at best' a year left to live after his diagnosis and that he 'always wished' to manage Liverpool.

Responding to a request to put Eriksson in the dugout for the legends game in March, Fowler wrote on X: 'call's gone in mate'.
