Sven-Goran Eriksson has spoken to Sky News about his cancer diagnosis saying "it came out of nowhere."

The former England manager has pancreatic cancer - with about a year left to live at the "best case" - and the 75-year-old told Niall Paterson he wants to stay as healthy as he can in that time.

Eriksson also said he plans to make it to England to watch the Three Lions taking on Brazil on 23 March at Wembley.
