Sven and Charlton

Whilst as England manager he gave first caps to Chris Powell, Paul Konchesky, Scott Parker, Luke Young and Darren Bent whilst they were Charlton Athletic players

Peter Varney writes: ‘So sad to hear of the passing of Sven GE. He was a regular visitor to The Valley and was always good company. Not only did he call up Chris Powell for England but without his help Chris would never have become the Charlton manager in 2011.’
