Getting Sven Goran-Eriksson’s old number

Our weekly columnist Ben Harvey (who’s column is about to go live) whacked me this link from The Sun newspaper yesterday.

Link: The Sun Online – News: My mobile is an Eriksson

STUDENT Christina Tambaros gets calls for ex-England soccer boss Sven Goran Eriksson — because she has his old mobile phone number.

That explains why no Premiership managers have wished Sven, 59, luck with his new job at Manchester City.
Christina, 17, has had the number for three months and said yesterday she had received messages from several footballing figures.

I had the same problem when Vodafone recycled my number really quickly after I left them. Folk kept on phoning a poor lady in the middle of the UK at all times of the night trying to reach me.
