Sven Goran Eriksson managed Liverpool Legends in their 4-2 victory against Ajax Legends in a charity game at Anfield. The crowd gave the Swede a standing ovation.
The 76-year-old has a terminal cancer diagnosis. Earlier this year, he revealed that he's supported Liverpool all his life and the Reds set up an opportunity for him to fulfill his dream of managing the club.
"To sit on the bench for Liverpool, that's been my dream my whole life. Now it happened, and it was a beautiful day in all meanings," Erikson said, as quoted by the BBC.
"The crowd, the game, the players, everything, fantastic, and thank you to Liverpool for giving me this opportunity, to invite me for such an important game - it's not points, but the importance of the game is incredible.
"It was full of emotions, tears coming. It's been my dream club all my life - even when I had England, I also supported Liverpool, but I couldn't say it at that time.
"It's a good finish, to finish with Liverpool, it can't be much better than that."
