FOOTBALL: Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has died at the age of 76.

-
Sven-Goran Eriksson was the first foreing manager and the man who presided over the country's so-called 'Golden Generation'during his time as an England manager.
At his peak, Eriksson was one of the game's finest coaches as he collected both domestic and European honours with regularity, something he was unable to replicate with England.
In January, Eriksson said he had "at best" a year to live after being diagnosed with cancer.
Eriksson managed 12 clubs, including Manchester City, Leicester, Roma and Lazio, winning 18 trophies.
Eriksson's years as England manager were marked by stories about his private life, including newspapers revealing relationships with television presenter Ulrika Jonsson in 2002 and former Football Association secretary Faria Alam in 2004.
Eriksson resigned as Lazio manager in January 2001 to succeed Kevin Keegan as England boss.
