RIP Sven

[Blake]

Some fans might not understand how important Sven was to Notts. He came for the right reasons, and his passing was very sad. His goodbye message was brave. Thank you, Sven.

Maybe the younger readers won't realise what an earthquake his appointment was. He was England manager just three years before. His career did taper off a bit at the end but at the time he was still pure box office, a household name all over Europe. We hadn't seen the likes of it since Tommy Lawton joined, and probably won't again. From his point of view, I doubt he was proud of his spell at Notts, especially as he'd fallen for a "fake sheikh" in a sting just a few years before. But all the same, he stuck around when Munto fell apart and did his best to make sure the club would be in safe hands afterwards. Notts fans appreciate him for it.

To me he always came across as a thoughtful and humble man. RIP Sven and thanks for the memories.

Sven will always be remembered fondly by Notts County fans. His arrival made waves and brought more attention to the club that had been there for some time. His passing is very sad, but it shows you can make every minute count and ensure your own narrative is acknowledged instead of that of the media.

Rest in Peace, Sven-Goran Eriksson.
