A great player, hard as nails, took no shit on the field in an era defenders were allowed to kick the crap out of attackers. He loves City, defends us to the hilt which is why sky avoid him like the plague and is also a really nice bloke. Well done buzzer!!

Even more so as it’s obviously deliberate PettinessWell done. The stupid thing is it would have made a better story putting Buzzer and Wio together. Buzzer a North West legend after his glory years with us did a great job at Burnley and Stockport. Shame on the Bullshit Broadcasting Company.

Great player, and wonderful man and character.
Delighted for him personally but high time these awards were scrapped for me, the reasons for giving are utterly bizarre.
Absolutely. And right up to the top. Some of the knighthoods given are pretty unfathomable. Although, sorry, thinking about it from the point of view of the Establishment, they're perfectly fathomable.
Sir Richard fucking Branson? Difficult for me to see what's he's done, other than swan around in balloons from time to time and be a venture capitalist vaguely disguised as a hippie in the seventies.
As for Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven…

You're all missing the point.
It was for services to acting.
Escape to Victory is on ITV4 in 25 minutes.
"We can win this"
He played with Pele, you know

You obviously haven’t seen this:Not sure. Franny could, and did, take a lot of punishment. People thought that because of his diving he didn't really get whacked. Had a friend at school who got a lift with him once (the friend's family lived in Knutsford). He asked him whether tackles were as hard as they looked. Franny just pulled his trouser leg up a bit, and my friend told me that it was unbelievable, it was black and blue with bruises.
But he didn't dish it out like the others on the list, in my view. Taking it and dishing it out (without any fuss either way) is my definition of the hard.

Built a successful record company.
Built a successful mobile phone company.
Built a successful media company.
Built a ridiculously successful Atlantic airline company, despite the best efforts of British Airways (and maybe others) trying to destroy it, like they had with Freddie Laker's Skytrain..
But apart from that, Branson has done fuck all.
Who will be the first to exercise the ghost of sir bacon face?He may well have turned it down. They keep it very quiet at the Palace when people do that. I think they're sounded out very discreetly, first.
I like that story about Bill Shankly hanging around the training ground every day, and an exasperated Paisley turning to him and saying, “Look, Bill, you don't work here any more!”
