There probably isn't a Liverpool supporter who hasn't sat in the crowd at Anfield and dreamed about taking charge of the team. Such was the case for Sven-Goran Eriksson, the first overseas boss to take on the England role and subsequently become one of the most recognisable figures in the country. “My father is still alive and is still a Liverpool supporter, and I’m a Liverpool supporter as well – I’ve always been," Eriksson told Sky News this week. The lure of finally taking charge of a Liverpool team, however, would surely be strong if it were offered. Eriksson may never have had the chance to become a Liverpool legend, but few would argue against his place among the managerial greats.
