squad boasted 985 caps and seven Champions League winners. The match was not the most competitive occasion the stadium will host this season but it was one of the most memorable on an emotional and perfect day for Sven-Göran Eriksson.
“That will be a huge memory in life – absolutely beautiful,” Eriksson said. “I cried, it was beautiful. To sit on the bench for Liverpool was the dream all my life and now it has happened. It was a beautiful day in every sense.” It was an eclectic squad available to Eriksson et al from Agger to El-Zhar. Eriksson was part of a managerial team consisting of John Barnes, John Aldridge and Ian Rush, whose own dugout careers cannot compare with his, even though their peer would have loved to have scored a goal at Anfield like his colleagues. There was a message of support from Gerrard and international colleagues in the week, epitomised by an emotional Owen Hargreaves crying as he explained what Eriksson meant to him.
