The applause will fill stadiums across Europe to honour Sven-Goran Eriksson, marking a life well lived with a broad legacy in football, but... a moment of silence 23 years ago will always resonate.
As Michael Owen closed in on Oliver Kahn, three minutes after half-time, momentarily the world around me seemed to stand still... There are stunning yet chronic painful memories.
Reaching tournaments can bring a rush, but the lasting memories, for good or ill, are supposed to be made by what happens when you get there... Munich itself, and not just that sound of silence, looks illusory.
