He only smoked 20 fags and only when he was drinking(not pints) so probably not.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Didi - Rafa was a genius

[smithdown]

Let's the side down in the Metro today.

 

Didn't handle the Suarez situation well, shouldn't have worn t-shirts, what Suarez did was not right, supporters must remember that Evra did no wrong.

I was out by the pool relaxing when he brought two glasses of champagne out. He handed me one and I asked him: 'What are we celebrating, boss?' and he just turned to me and said: "Life Kaiser, we're celebrating life." That was Sven for you.

I'd be celebrating life if I was Sven.

[BG]

I'd be celebrating life if I was Sven.

 

It's a great, great line from Sven.

[Eiler99]

It's a great, great line from Sven.

 

There's more:

 

Then there was Sven Goran Eriksson, one of my great mentors.

 

A man of such charm and sophistication that had the James Bond character been Swedish, then it would surely have been modelled on him.

 

He was polished, professional, polite, dapper unflappable and likeable. Added to that he had great knowledge of the game and was prepared to show himself as a leader. He led from the front and made us want to play for him.

 

As the 2007-08 season came a close with Manchester City, we all knew these were almost certainly Sven’s last days as manager, yet during our time on a post-season tour of Thailand, he never changed his demeanour at all.

 

One morning when I was on a sun lounger by the pool, he walked towards me with a bottle of champagne and two glasses on it.

 

It was still only 10 in the morning. I looked up and said, ‘Boss, what are we celebrating?’ expecting him to make the triumphant announcement he was staying.

 

He turned to me and smiled that gentle smile of his and took the air of a Buddhist philosopher, as he said, ‘Life, Kaiser. We are celebrating life’.

 

With a glass of champagne in hand he stood and looked out towards the horizon, then spoke in that higgledy-piggledy Swedish accent:

 

‘You know Kaiser, I like this place. I think I will manage for another five years and come back here and live with two women. Yes. I think I need two beautiful women.’

The book is great.
