Sven-Goran Eriksson reveals his final dream is to watch England play Brazil at Wembley in March - as terminally-ill former manager, 75, reveals the one team he regrets never coaching

Ex-England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson says his final dream is to watch England play against Brazil at Wembley in two months' time.

The 75-year-old coaching legend revealed this week that he has around a year to live 'at best' after being diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer.

He has vowed to 'fight as long as I can' and, in a new interview, said he plans to continue travelling to watch football for as long as his illness will allow him to.

Speaking to Sky News, a smiling Eriksson warmly said that the days where he is without pain are a 'great gift in life' – as he revealed plans to travel to Wembley in two months' time to watch England take on Brazil in an international friendly.
