Hodgson earns Outstanding Contribution Award as Eze and Guaita recognised at LFA

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has been honoured with the Outstanding Contribution Award at the London Football Awards.

Founded by former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson OBE, the London Football Awards are designed to celebrate football in the capital both on and off the pitch.

Hodgson earned the Outstanding Contribution Award through an illustrious 46-year career that has seen him manage 16 different clubs and four national teams.

After starting his coaching career in 1976 in Halmstad, Sweden, at the age of 28, Croydon-born Hodgson began paving his way through Europe and beyond. His successful time in Sweden lasted 14 years across three different clubs, with a spell at Bristol City in between.
