As the title suggests do you think Bradley Wiggins will recieve a knighthood? He is currently evens money to be knighted: 2013 Honours list. Im thinking of having a punt. What do you think?
Alex Ferguson, Yes.
I never see the point in knighthood for sportsmen, surely the point of them competing is to win, that's their job, to win.
If he wins another medal he will be our most successful Olympian. That combined with the Tour and it's nailed on, Shirley?
Personally i think Knighthoods should be given later on in life. I find it a bit cringe worthy to call a 30-odd year old "Sir". Alex Ferguson, Yes. Bobby Robson, Yes. Paul McCartney,Yes. Bradley Wiggins?? Not yet for me. Knighthoods get given out like they are going out of fashion
Unlike the ones for actors, musicians, bankers, politicians?
What about David Beckham, IMO should defiantly be knighted. Has done a lot for the country, getting Olympics and world cup bid.
Suspect his living in LA isn’t helping his cause.
I would imagine is almost nailed on. Alot of Knighthood's have been given for less!! Should receive one for sporting those side burners in any case!!
