Sven is 5 Today
It is five years to the day since Sven-Goran Eriksson set foot inside FA Headquarters in Soho Square .
Sven began with five consecutive victories, the first England boss to achieve such a sequence, and the Swede has now taken the team to two World Cups and one European Championship. Three tournaments, three qualifications.
But can you guess who was in his first team selection when we beat Spain 3-0 in February 2001?
Sven's first starting XI: James: P Neville, Ferdinand, Campbell, Powell; Beckham, Butt, Scholes, Barmby; Andy Cole, Owen.
Lets hope he gets it right this year in Germany!
