Sorry if previously posted but I wasnt aware of this
"Robson was instrumental in guiding Hodgson through the early stage of his career. “Roy joined the Surrey coaches association,” says Alan Smith, another former Palace manager. “This group consisted mostly of coaches who were not top players, but who had a teaching background [Hodgson worked at a couple of schools in south London]. At the time there was a negative attitude towards anyone entering coaching who had not played the game at the highest level.” Robson was more open-minded, encouraging coaches who had not been elite players to spend some him with him at Ipswich observing his methods – an initiative that Robson funded himself."

Good article, thank you for posting. There is another Ipswich connection in that Hodgson’s friend, Bobby Houghton, was also a member of Robson’s coaching staff at Portman Road. |  | | |

A lot of good coaches had rubbish playing careers, look at Wenger for example, or going back to the 90's Roy Evans at Liverpool yet very few superstar players make it as great coaches. |  | | |

I am being perfectly serious here, whenever I read things about SBR - and in fact other great people, I always think to myself "Lucan, you must do better".
I think I have failed to live up to that level human kindness a lot of my life but I like to think I am going in the right direction now, maybe by the time I die I will be a quarter of the man SBR was, and that would probably be a magnificent achievement.
Last night I was YouTubing things about Brian Clough, I do that now and again as I found him a very interesting man. It wasn't until last night though that I found out that there was some teenager at Forest who broke down in BC's car about the crap he was getting at home. BC immediately said to him, "Now we are not going to have that young man" and made the kid live with him - albeit with the odd break by living around BC's sons houses. Went on for a few years apparently. [Post edited 17 Aug 2023 1:02]

I seem to remember hearing that Gates, known by Sir Bob as Sykes, was terribly homesick when he first came to Town so Sir Bob and Lady Elsie had him live with them for quite a while | |
