Former England boss Sven Goran Eriksson has identified ex- Manchester United talent Paul Scholes as the most gifted player of the crop of Three Lions stars he coached.
Eriksson has taken charge of a number of sides over the course of his lengthy career at both international and club level, but is undoubtedly best remembered for his time at the helm of the England side. He was in charge for half a decade, the Swede's reign spanning from 2001 through to 2006.
In that period, he oversaw two World Cup campaigns in 2002 and 2006 respectively, wedged either side of the 2004 European Championships. The Three Lions failed to make it beyond the last eight in all three, despite the fact that he had what was known as the 'Golden Generation' of English talent at his disposal.
