Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson paid tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton after defeat at Newcastle.

Manchester United icon Charlton passed away before kickoff on Saturday.

Hodgson said: I was privileged to meet him on quite a few occasions. My thoughts tonight are with Norma and their children. It's a really sad day. I know they'll be devastated.

Sir Bobby Charlton doesn't need any words from me other than to say, perhaps, we are talking about a true legend of the game and a true legend of English football and Manchester United.

That 1966 team will always be an iconic team we look to and today we unfortunately lost another great player and a really important member of that team. I was really sad to hear the news and I can only wish Norma and their children all the best and strength to come through the grieving process."
