David Beckham was visibly emotional at the funeral of his former England manager, Sven-Goran Eriksson. He spoke about Sven-Goran’s punctuality, love for routine and discipline, and his preference for luxury in travel, food, and drink. Despite his illness, Sven-Goran remained mentally strong and full of life in his final months. His close friend Bengt Berg fondly remembered their shared memories and described Sven-Goran as a great person who had the ability to look on the bright side of life.

Bengt addressed Sven-Goran, expressing that he had now returned to his home shores. The emotion-filled occasion took place overlooking Sven’s beloved Lake Fryken, with David Beckham paying his respects to his former boss.
