Hedman saves denies England all three points against Sweden
The former Sky Blues stopper started for Sweden against England in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and Korea.
It was the first game of the tournament for both sides and with Argentina and Nigeria making up the rest of Group F, it was important for both sides to get off to a good start.
England, managed by Sven Goren Eriksson, went ahead in the 24th minute as Sol Campbell rose highest in the area to power his header past Hedman.
After the break, Niclas Alexandersson levelled the tie for Sweden with 30 minutes remaining.
Hedman was forced into action late on as his saves denied Michael Owen and Paul Scholes efforts which meant the sides shared the points.
Hedman signed for Coventry City in 1997 from AIK and went on to make over 140 appearances for the Sky Blues before moving on to Scottish giants Celtic in 2002.
