Pathetic. England might as well pack up their bongos and give it away if this isn't a wind-up.

No. Won nothing for England & so far won nothing for Real Madrid either. Silly high-pitched voice, chavvy tattoos (has a knight ever had a tattoo on his neck, btw?), multi-untalented wife and will shill for just about anything if the price is right. He's the ultimate triumph of style over substance; usually the best known practitioners of a sport (Federer, Schumacher, Woods, Jordan) are famous for being the best in their respective fields, Beckham has never once been the best footballer.

Ffs. It makes little difference to me being non-English, but this is just sad.

He obviously doesn't deserve a knighthood but, say what you like about him, he doesn't act like a prima-donna, he always gives 100% when on a football field, which is more than can be said for some players over the years.
I would dispute the notion that Beckham has never been the best in the world - back in the late 90s and early 00s he was definitely up there, and he was instrumental in United winning the treble, and very few players have won that.
Feels quite strongly on the matter, does Hingston.Originally Posted by Poll

No chance. Infact, the whole honours system should be done away with.
No way does he deserve a knighthood. When the time comes that he passes away and people reflect on his life, he will be remembered more as a "celebrity" than as a footballer. He won't be revered in the way Bradman was, or in the way that Pele will be, or Lara, or Tendulkar, or Jordan, or countless other sporting legends.
Not to mention being partially responsible for accelerating the decline of British culture by kicking off the current media obsession with celebrity.
Big fan and all of the bloke, but shouldn't be knighted. Haha Sir David Beckham it just doesn't sound right.
I cant believe that this will actually happen. If it does its another reminder that I made a great decision to move from a country I cant identify with anymore.
The cult of the celebrity is sickening in the UK (far worse than anywhere else Ive been) and this is just part of all that crap.

It would be an insult to more deserving people who have never been knighted.
