What services, he won nothing with England, was kicked out of Old Trafford, bought by Madrid to sell shirts and retired to America aged 32, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes would be much more worthy of a knighthood - which is a load of bollox anyway, he should stick to his cockney roots, as should most United fans
A decent footballer, a likeable fella, but not great, would not make most people's top 50 players of the last 20 years anyway.
Is he the guy who his wife phoned him up at half time during an England match to tell him his hair looked all wrong and so he washed it in the 15 minute interval so he'd look nice for the second half?

Politicians are, in general, populist sh*theads, who'd sh*g their own grannies if they thought it would get them a few more votes. This is one of the many consequences.
The best thing to do is ignore the honours system, and just know about the person.
It's not like Beckham would become a different person overnight if he was knighted.
In fact it matters less when famous people are unduly honoured than with people who are not well known.
There are probably plenty of people who've been knighted who don't deserve it who you've never heard of, but the problem is that with them, you wouldn't know that they didn't deserve it.
The House of Lords is, of course, a different kettle of fish, and matters greatly.

"Do poor folk ever get knighted?" Perhaps. A few years ago they went a bit mad opening it up to make it "relevant". There are loads of dinner ladies and lollipop men with honours now :)
I think my services to betfair forum humour SHOULD be recognised, and not that sorry ***t down the road stopping Nissan Micras!

Feck / Ann witt, is there a single thread you speak on that isn't related to your angry obsessions?
I dislike Rangers and the bigotry of some of their fans, but you could single handedly make me support them... :(

Only Eriksson would allow his captain to travel to a world cup in such a condition, becks earned his reputed £8m image rights.
Such was his fickle participation in that event he pulled rank on the regular penalty taker, Owen was well worth listening to later.
