Sven Goran Eriksson is learning the accordion.

His former England assistant manager Tord Grip is a big fan of the instrument, it seems, and he's been giving Sven some lessons.

A source said: "Tord has secretly played the accordion for years. He brings it out for special dinners and entertains his chums at dinner parties. Sven has always talked about taking it up and has had his first few lessons. He has found it really relaxing and is keen to take it further."
