Football manager Roy Hodgson has become a well-known figure in the world of football. He has been married to his wife Sheila since 1971 and together they have one son, Christopher Hodgson.
Sheila, a Liverpool native and a former Everton fan, has been a devoted partner to Roy throughout his career. When the family moved to Sweden for Roy’s management job, Sheila even learned to speak Swedish to help her husband settle into life in a new country.
Roy has openly praised Sheila for her unwavering support throughout his career. When he was offered the England manager job in 2012, it was reported that he sought her permission before accepting the role.
Despite asking for a sabbatical at times, Roy always credits his wife for ultimately supporting his career choices.
Apart from being a loving and supportive wife, Sheila has also shown her own entrepreneurial spirit by co-founding the Prestige Realty Group, a real estate firm. It’s clear that the Hodgson family values dedication and hard work.
