Anders Svensson

[Kingsland Red]

On another epic night for SRL, 85 year old Svensson (knocked the Argies out) scores the winner against the ROI in Dublin.

I don't know how that man is still playing so damn well for his country

[Kingsland Red]

His shuffling style around the centre circle is clearly designed for longevity.

also equalled (f.goalie) Thomas Ravelli's record of 143 caps (incl. tonight's game).

And he also equalled Thomas Ravelli's record of most caps for Sweden with his 143rd cap this evening. Should go onto beat the record against Kazhakstan on Tuesday now

are you a odd stalker or are you svensk??

And to think Redkrapp kept him on the bench in our relegation year

When I heard Sweden had scored, I joked that Svensson was the scorer. Brilliant. It seems like a lifetime ago that he was playing for Saints and here he is, still scoring meaningful goals on the international stage.

Ha.. little bit of both!.. I had a Swedish Grandmother, and English parents.. I was England all the way growing up but a combination of Le Tissier not being picked and a desire to be different, meant I started following Sweden in 94.. Haven't looked back since.... And after losing a bet in January, I have actuallu legally changed my name to Anders Svensson in recognition of one of the greatest talents in world football.. Have to admit, I have really enjoyed being called Anders Svensson, despite the funny looks you get from people from time to time...
