Wayne Rooney, John Terry and Gareth Southgate were all important players during Svenni's time as England captain.
- We all know your health problems and it is a sign of your greatness that you think of others during this difficult time.
I have never taken the chance to thank you for all the help and guidance you have given me over the years.
So tonight I want to say thank you for all your help.
After the gala, Sven-Göran Eriksson told how he felt when he got to see all the tributes.
- It's beautiful, you feel it.
The tears will come.
- That they talk well about me and not crap about me, haha.
It's mutual.
They were important players for England and it feels very good when they remember what we did back then.
