Renaissance man Roy Hodgson has still got it at Crystal Palace as he keeps Eagles flying high in Premier League

The sight of Roy Hodgson, rheumy-eyed and emotionally raw in Chantilly, France, the morning after England's Euro 2016 exit to Iceland was really something.

He was 68 years old and had resigned as manager of his country. As embarrassing exits go, this was up there with Elvis Presley meeting his death on the toilet.

Many of us supposed Hodgson would slink into retirement, forever remembered for that ridiculous result against a nation with a part-time football culture and a population the size of Leicester.
