Eriksson, then the Leicester City boss, signed Greg Cunningham on loan from Manchester City
Roy Keane was feeling the heat as the snow tumbled from the sky and turned Portman Road into a giant white blanket.
Referee Stuart Attwell suspended play for 17 minutes at one point but Keane would end up having the last laugh, with Ipswich flipping their ropey form to take a 3-0 lead. "We carried on but it was literally impossible to see anything. Again, you're thinking this has got to be called off. "Sven’s man-management and respect towards everyone at the club was really refreshing. When I look back on my own career, he really stood out in that respect.”
"It was heart-breaking when the news broke initially of his illness. You didn't know how long he would have left and when we heard he passed, it was very sad."I went to Leicester and it was my first loan move. I was 19 leaving Manchester City to go to the Championship, working under Sven and trying to make a name for myself.
"From minute one he was so welcoming and the one thing that really stuck with me is his man-management is the best that I've ever worked with in my career.” "This was my first experience of proper first-team football and regardless of how things were going, every time I stepped on that pitch he had me pumped up.
