Mail Sport's Ian Ladyman has recalled the secrets of Sven-Goran Eriksson's one and only season at Manchester City.

The former England boss was manager at the Etihad for the 2007-08 season, where he became the first Man City boss in 38 years to win a league double against Manchester United. He also achieved their joint highest Premier League points total at the time with 55, as they finished ninth in the standings.

Eriksson, 76, revealed his terminal cancer diagnosis in January, saying he has 'at best, a year to live'.
