Hi there, thanks for joining us for high performance, the show that aims to understand the stories, the successes, and the struggles of the highest performers on the planet.

As usual, it's myself, and Damien Damien Hughes a man who has spent his life

surrounded by sport at the very highest level and look Damien this is one of our

sort of short Friday conversations it's only a few minutes long but we thought it was

right for us to pay tribute to and talk about the life that was lived by the former England manager Svenyur and Erickson who sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer just a few days ago and we thought you

just to reflect really on on the life that he's lived and the legacy that he's left

behind. Yeah he's terribly sad news. He'll be missed not just as a football manager, but also as a man,

as we can hear from the tributes that have been paid to him this week, from the likes of David

Beckham and Wayne Rooney and Roberto Manchini, people that work with him and

obviously felt deeply about him. And that's a testament to the impact they had on their lives.

Yeah, absolutely.

Well, you know, at the moment people can see the documentary Sven which is currently

available on Amazon Prime.

It was only released just a few days before it was announced that Sven had passed away

and you know I'm very proud actually to say that the final message from Sven which was very much in

his own words and the message that he wanted to leave people with was was

produced by Whisper Whisper Group which is the the production company that I

co-founded a few years ago.

And it's interesting actually how it came about Damien.

So we believe very strongly in collaborating and partnering with people at Whisper and

we were approached by someone who had a great contact and a great connection

with Sven and he said look you guys have just produced a Ben Stokes documentary for Amazon it was really well received
