After Kevin Keegan resigned in the men's loos at Wembley in 2000,
the FA decided to hire their first foreign England manager - Sven
Goran-Eriksson. He paved the way for Thomas Tuchel, who leads
England at the World Cup qualifiers this international
break.

With Sven, the FA got much more than they bargained for. A man
with a love for the game, life and women - Eriksson often graced
the front and back pages of the newspapers.

He led the golden generation of Beckham and Rooney, but despite
that talent Sven fell short at the quarter-finals.

So why did the FA decide to open up to foreign managers? Did
Eriksson's off-field lifestyle hamper England or was it simply a
combination of bad luck, broken metatarsals and the penalty shoot
out hoodoo?
