He told P1: “Everyone understands that I have an illness that is not good.

“Everyone guesses it’s cancer and it is. But I have to fight as long as I can.”

When asked about the prognosis, Eriksson said he has “maybe at best a year, at worst a little less, or at best maybe even longer”.

He added: “You can’t be absolutely sure. It is better not to think about it.

“But you can trick your brain. See the positive in things, don’t wallow in adversity, because this is the biggest adversity of course, but make something good out of it.”
