David Beckham - Will he/should he get a knighthood?

[Guest Phil C]

A bit of a bandwagon starting demanding a knighthood for him. Does he deserve one though? What's he done? I guess he won't have any support on here but we - and Citeh fans - seem to be the only ones that would argue against.

 

If he 'deserves' one, what about Martin Johnson?!!!

 

(I know, I know, 'sod the Honours list' and all that but it still makes me sick the thought of him getting one!).

[cochyn]

Bandwagon? Where?

 

Feckin' hell, I deserve a knighthood over that cvnt. After all, I've won as many international honours as him.

[smithdown]

Just a knighthood?

 

Make him a feckin Prince.

[Behind Enemy Lines]

what for? services to the media?

[Stevie H]

services to the perfume industry :

 

 

what a c***.

[smithdown]

He'd be a boss replacement for the Princess of Hearts wouldn't he?

[casey]

Do be serious

[Armin_Tamzarian]

A knighthood is an insult to this paragon of all that is truly of value. The nation must immediately be renamed 'Great Beckham' in his honour and he must be declared our new Emperor.

[drdooom]

Of course he should be knighted, didn't you see him cry?!

I for one would welcome our new gullible hen-pecked fashion victim overlord!

you sure bout that?

[Bootle Buck]

He deserves the highest accolade the Advertising/Public Relations Industry can give him. Other than that Football or the Queen owes him Feck all.

English knights of old would be turning in their graves to see that whinging sap down on one knee...

Yeah, we just need someone to fiddle with the brakes on his Merc.

Heather Mills wouldnt mind though.

hahaha! what a brilliant photo.

He should get an Oscar for that pathetic injury faking. He knew he would be dragged off so he had to do it in true "Drama Queen" style.

[Guest Red Mist]

The Queen should knight Becks, and as she's waving that sword about, she should HACK his f*cking head off. I'd be supporter of the monarchy if that were to happen.

[Ronnie Whelan]

Im Irish, but if Beckham gets knighted it will be one of the saddest days in the history of the british monarchy, and there have been many to choose from.

The "fake" injury that's been confirmed as one that will keep him out for six weeks you mean?

[Knox_Harrington]

You mean till mid-August? When's the first game of the Spanish season? First week of September for Madrid I suspect.

 

While it may seem a little adayinthelife it still all seems a bit suss to me.

[fitzy]

Beckham will be knighted, no doubt about i'm afraid. Some soft government will come in at some stage and to try and be seen as 'with it' will push for softlad to be knighted.

 

The truth of the matter is, while he has been captain England have been to three championships and finished quarter finals every time and his own performances have been average at best.

 

I think all this knighting business is rubbish but if he gets one why doesn't someone like lineker, he has captained his country, scored many goals, was in a team that got to the semi final and was golden boot winner at the '86 world cup.

 

Softlad shouldn't get a knighthood but he will, of that i have no doubt.

Did you notice he seemed to forget about his injury during extra time/penalty kick out when he was bouncing about, demonstraating his true leadership qulaities i.e hugging the players and shouting "come on".

[George Costanza]

Beckham will be knighted at some stage. No doubt. I think he'll go on a do a lot for charity & football development through soccer schools etc.
