The man who led England to the 2002 and 2006 World Cups says he was taken aback at the amount of distraction his players demanded
Sven-Goran Eriksson says he was astounded by the amount of entertainment England players demanded during his time as Three Lions boss.
The Swede, who had previously managed in Italy and Portugal as well as his home country before becoming England’s first foreign manager in 2001, led England to World Cups in 2002 and 2006 and the 2004 European Championships.
Eriksson says England had the best team in 2006, though his side went out at the quarter-final stage on penalties to Portugal after a young Wayne Rooney had been sent off.
