The Netflix documentary about him is an interesting watch, and I would recommend.
He comes across as a decent bloke with fairly major OCD issues.
He is also clearly pretty patriotic.
I have no issue with him getting a knighthood. There have been far less deserving ones given out. |  |

Is it for services to extra-marital sex?
If so, yes. |  |

Sir Mark Thatcher - knighted for having a mummy as PM and his one achievement of getting lost in the desert in his car.
Sir Gavin Williamson - sacked from two ministerial jobs. Knighted.
Boris Johnson’s illegitimate daughter (allegedly) made Britain’s youngest peer.
Sir Jimmy Saville |  |

Isn't Mark Thatcher one as a Baronet, which is an inherited knighthood rather than for anything he's done?
I'm not defending that, but that's the way it is. I worked with a guy who had that same title a few years back but you only knew it by the BT after his name on work correspondence etc |  |

I don't care for these things at all but why not. He's a global icon and as usual probably valued more highly around the world than us cynical Brits do. But Andy Murray got one and I'd say he's probably more high profile than him.
Good point made on the radio today that Tony Adams should have one too for all his work with Sporting Chance. He's saved a lot of people. |  | | |

Just another reason to abandon the whole honours system which has no place whatsoever in a modern society.
One stood up grown man touching another kneeling grown man on the shoulder with a sword.
Much the same as the Knight of the Garter ceremony when grown men and women parade around Windsor dressed in cloaks and hats with feathers in or the state opening of parliament when a man’s jewelled hat is carried around London in it’s own Rolls Royce.
Not forgetting of course the coronation when a grown man, hidden behind a screen, has his breasts rubbed with oil by another grown man wearing a pointed hat. [Post edited 6 Jun 17:54]

I’m a monarchist and a patriot but the honours system and House of Lords are ridiculous.
Would I call anyone sir? No chance. | | | |

You need some reward for being an establishment stooge. Maybe he thinks the money and fame is worth surrendering his principles. | |

Especially someone like Beckham who has spent as much time as possible kissing the monarchy's arses. | | | |

I don't see what principles he's surrendered. He's always coveted fame and fortune and he's done exceptionally well for himself and his family.
He hasn't inherited titles or wealth, he's earned it all from his and his old ladies work.
As far as i am concerned he deserves it more than some politician who has spent his whole career toadying or because he's from some privileged family.
The boys done well. |  | | |

What makes him better than anyone else because of the job he does?
Don’t get me wrong, I have a great deal of respect for him. But calling someone sir, to me, is subservient and implies they are better than me. | | | |

Give me strength Bridders, being jetted all over the place, whist spouting the climate change and evolution nonsense like its undisputed fact and doing it all in that horse whispery voice, no thanks.
I may be inclined to title anyone older than me or deserving of respect "Sir", but an official title bestowed on then by a corrupt system, especially while being a hypocrite, no thank you, can we not at least consign this old boy network claptrap to the history books? | |

No. What's he done other than be a good footballer? Or would it be for services to moronic tattoos?
As for football, would he even rank in Man U's top 5 or 10 best ever payers let alone England's? And don't mention how he stood in the queue with all the plebs for hours to see the Queen. In my view that was his PR getting him back in favour after the absolute PR disaster of promoting Qatar for the World Cup. People are such suckers.
He may be a nice guy, but a knighthood? No fvcking way. |  |

In my experience, Knights do not expect their friends and acquaintances to call them 'sir' only the knobheads like Sir Ben Kingsley.. but then he is an Ac...TOR. | |

Don’t get too stressed Chesham because Wayne Rooney is next in line after Beckham, for his services to old grannies,football management, football commentary and Greggs the Bakers. | |

Yes, what is that Coranation ceremony all about, something satanic? I must go down that rabbit hole! I remember hearing Penny Mordant was dressed up like some High Priestess, all very strange and we are supposed to watch on in wide eyed wonderment…. | |
