Sven-Goran Eriksson is having his features sculpted for Madame Tussaud's.

The likeness will be among the attractions at a new exhibition called GOAL! at the London museum, opening on March 22.

The waxwork's expression is said to mirror his face during the final seconds of England's World Cup qualifying game against Greece, when a last gasp David Beckham free-kick secured his team's qualification.

The exhibition will also feature Beckham, depicted lining up the kick.

The England coach will be the 13th Swede to feature at Madame Tussaud's - others have included Bjorn Borg and Greta Garbo.
