Eriksson denied affair with secretary, says FA boss

ENGLAND manager Sven-Goran Eriksson told the English Football Association he never had an affair with secretary Faria Alam, his boss said yesterday.

The claim came from FA executive director David Davies, 57, as he was questioned at a London employment tribunal about his recollection of how the England coach denied having an affair with Ms Alam.

Mr Davies, 57, said Mr Eriksson had left him with the “clear” understanding there had been no fling.
