    2. Roy Hodgson loves opera

    Roy Hodgson stepped in to manage Inter Milan for six games in 1999 as a favour to Internazionale president Massimo Moratti. Instead of asking for money, the current England manager asked for tickets to world famous opera house, La Scala. The pair went together to the opera house to indulge in an evening of Verdi.
