a journalist effectively questioned the appropriateness (is this a word ) of Hodgson being appointed given that he managed a team in South Africa during Apartheid. Hodgson corrected him saying he didnt coach there, he played there as it was an offer of employment having been previously injured and was obviously against Apartheid, much like his teammates were.

Not ridiculous at all.

Hodgson chose to play football for an all white team in an all white league. If he cared so much about apartheid he could have taken a job for less money in another league.

It is better for him this comes out now rather than later.
