Crystal Palace boss Hodgson proud to reach landmark

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is delighted to be reaching a landmark this weekend.

Hodgson will become the oldest manager in Premier League history when Palace travel to the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

But the 71-year-old say he hasn't given much thought to breaking Sir Bobby Robson's record.

He said: “I have to say that I've never given it much thought. I have been obliged to give it thought recently because people have kept asking me about it.

“My views regarding it haven't really changed. You are as old as you feel most of the time. It is a milestone, it is a little historical mark which I guess I can be please about.

“It is good to have such a long career and to still be enjoying it."
