Sven-Goran Eriksson was moved to tears as Gothenburg fans raised a tifo in his honour and serenaded him on his return.

The ex-England manager visited his old club on Saturday after revealing that he has terminal pancreatic cancer in January and was given a hero's welcome.

Eriksson led Swedish club Gothenburg to a shock UEFA Cup in 1982, back when their players still had second jobs alongside their playing commitments.

After being led out to a chorus of cheers and clapping, the chanting began and he was visibly moved by the tributes to him.
