ROY HODGSON-NICE MAN

 

Roy Hodgson CBE has retired today as a football manager

Hodgson was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 20212 Birthday Honours for services to football. He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Greenwich in 2019. Roy said: I owe Avery Hill an enormous debt... they taught me certain principles which have stayed with me throughout my football coaching life... It was Avery Hill that endorsed the teaching principles required to become a good coach, because what is a good coach really other than someone who has got a pretty good grip of teaching principles?
