Beckham's Knighthood

[Dee Sa]

so Beckham a good old Essex boy with no pretences [ yes I am from Essex too] wont get the above just now, do you think its because of his uppity wife's attitude ?

Give it twenty years. If he's still remembered then and has put in years of useful life to the benefit of this country (or become chairman of some blue chip quoted company) , he'll be on the list

I really don't agree with celebrities who pursue their ambitions and get well paid for it receiving knighthoods. I think they should be reserved for the brave and unselfish who go beyond the call of duty. Nothing against Becks, but why should he be rewarded for doing what he wants and being well paid?
