Flight Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Maldini said: How has he not been awarded a knighthood? Well said; good shout.
New York Red Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Good point. If Trevor Brooking can get one, then Kenny should. Then again, who gives a f*ck. I'd tell them to shove it up their *rse if I was offered one (well, not the sword...)
Coyler Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 He's pretty young still. Maybe he got offered one and refused.
Maldini Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 Yeah, that's what I was thinking. He qualifies for one on several fronts though when you think about it.
Cliff M Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I'm strongly against the honours system. It perpetuates the "class" thing and is too political. Glad he hasn't got a knighthood.
Chili Palmer Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 A man who has brought joy to millions with his ability on the pitch, a man who has been there for thousands of people in their time of need, a man with dignity, honour and principles. A truely great man. He's more than a 'Sir'
gkmacca Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 If he did get one you know he wouldn't expect everyone to call him 'Sir' like that 'socialist' Ginsoak seems to enjoy so much. (To be fair to Brooking, by the way, he didn't get it so much for his playing career as he did for his work on the sports council, and, to his credit, he was so critical of politicians during his time there that some tried to block his KBE.)
Ramón Benítez Hernández Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 He's got an MBE, so he's on the same level as Geraint Jones and Paul Collingwood. He should feel very proud.
