I cannot believe the BS I have just read

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Fergie is calling for Giggs to be Knighted and made into a Sir can you believe this what the fook has Giggs done to warrant such a high accolade........Grrrrrrrrr everything them bullshitting bastoods do makes my blood boil.

I think that in these times you don't need to have done anything, you just need to be! And besides, hasn't Giggs always been there for Wales whenever they have called? The honours list is probably the biggest cartload of effluence that ever made its way into Buckingham Palace.

He's the most decorated player in English football history........to be fair it's not like he's been second best during the majority of his career.

 

[mancunial]

is that (one boiled egg?)

I have been reliably informed that giggs will miss out on a knighthood this year.

He's getting an OBE with Hargreaves instead,

You heard it here first!

...and last.

 

[Blue Mist]

I think he probably deserves it in fairness

Clarkie Alert Clarkie Alert

 

[Why Always Ste]

Alot of the time it isn't about achievements its about how the media percieve you, and we all know how well the mainstream media worship Ryan Giggs.

Myself if I was ever given a knighthood (unlikely) I would reject it based on my dislking of Monarchy.

Great footballer and a model representative of the game, deserving of a knighthood? to be honest I disagree with the whole knighthood thing.

These knighthoods are a farce anyhow. Why should someone who is greatly rewarded by doing thier profession get a knighthood on top. Look at how cheap these are. Cricketers getting them for winning a series which is held every 2 years. SIR Alex is a great example. Him a Sir? Laughable. Actors who get millions per film being awarded them. Salmon Rushdie???
Chris Hoy for riding a bike
Doug Ellis
Zara Phillips
Kelly Holmes

Just seems win at something, get a knighthood these days. Got to the stage now where imho its not even an honour. Would any of you say Sir to any of the above.

Sports stars should not get Knighthoods, short of them dedicating large parts of their lives to charity..

They should be reserved for the lives of Johnson Beharry

From Wiki.

On 1 May 2004, Beharry was driving a Warrior Tracked Armoured Vehicle that had been called to the assistance of a foot patrol caught in a series of ambushes. The Warrior was hit by multiple rocket propelled grenades, causing damage and resulting in the loss of radio communications. The platoon commander, the vehicle’s gunner and a number of other soldiers in the vehicle were injured. Due to damage to his periscope optics, Pte. Beharry was forced to open his hatch to steer his vehicle, exposing his face and head to withering small arms fire. Beharry drove the crippled Warrior through the ambush, taking his own crew and leading five other Warriors to safety. He then extracted his wounded comrades from the vehicle, all the time exposed to further enemy fire. He was cited on this occasion for "valour of the highest order".

While back on duty on 11 June 2004, Beharry was again driving the lead Warrior vehicle of his platoon through Al Amarah when his vehicle was ambushed. A rocket propelled grenade hit the vehicle six inches from Beharry's head and he received serious shrapnel injuries to his face and brain. Other rockets hit the vehicle incapacitating his commander and injuring several of the crew. Despite his life threatening injuries, Beharry retained control of his vehicle and drove it out of the ambush area before losing consciousness. He required brain surgery for his head injuries, and he was still recovering when he was awarded the VC in March 2005. He suggested on at least one occasion that he would return to military service if physically able.

Could be worse, that hugely less talented no mark Mr Beckham could be knighted.

 

[samharris]
