Former England boss Eriksson admits to being a Liverpool fan

The Swede, who has also taken in a spell as Manchester City manager, claims to have been a follower of the Reds since he was a child

Sven-Goran Eriksson has admitted to having “always been a Liverpool fan”, but the former England manager is still backing Manchester City for Premier League title glory.

The Swede, who has also spent time at the Etihad Stadium during his coaching career, claims to have been a follower of the Reds since he was a child.

He got an opportunity to see plenty of them during his spell in charge of the Three Lions, with Steven Gerrard a key component in a so-called ‘golden generation’ of talent.
