Roy Hodgson's nomadic 48-year career in management took him around the world but has surely ended at the place he called home - Crystal Palace.

The drug of football that has been Hodgson's lifelong addiction may well have been sampled for the last time with his departure from Selhurst Park amid fan disaffection and a drop towards the Premier League's danger zone.
