Former England Soccer Manager To Continue With “Warts And All” Prime Video Doc, Despite Terminal Cancer Diagnosis
deadline.comFormer England soccer team manager Sven-Goran Eriksson will continue to contribute to a Prime Video documentary about his life and career, despite his terminal cancer diagnosis.
75-year-old Eriksson has been working with Whisper production company for the last 18 months on a “warts and all” documentary, tracing his career from Italian club Lazio to becoming the first non-British manager of England in 2001.
