Sven-Goran Eriksson hails day as Liverpool Legends manager 'a memory for life' as he achieves life-long dream... and reveals he 'was crying' during You'll Never Walk Alone

Sven-Goran Eriksson has branded his day as Liverpool Legends manager 'a memory for life' after he achieved a life-long dream.

The former England manager stunned the world of football back in January when he announced that he had 'about a year' to live and was battling cancer.

He fulfilled his lifelong dream of managing Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, leading his side to a 4-2 win with the likes of Fernando Torres, Djibrial Cisse and Gregory Vignal on the score sheet.

The 76-year-old was all smiles as he took to the Anfield turf before the game, cameras surrounding him and the 60,000 fans in attendance clapped his arrival as he bowed his head in acknowledgement.
