It wasn't unusual for Roy Hodgson to be stopped in the street during his 10 months away from soccer and be asked "are you enjoying your retirement?" Hodgson never felt like he was retired even at the age of 75. Now he is back in the Premier League in a second stint at Crystal Palace as a replacement for the fired Patrick Vieira.
