Sir Trevor Brooking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are they serious? If the title was ever meaningful then this has surely ended it's status as a worthy honour.

Did you ever think for a split second that anything awarded by parasitical Nazis is 'worthy' ??

Its beyond a joke. Noone connected primarily with LFC has ever been given a knighthod, except ex chairman John smith, who got it for sports council stuff more than anything else. We need to start campaigning for Sir Kenny now.

I totally agree that LFC have been criminally ignored when it comes to handing out the gongs (although GH got something for non-Brits for the Treble). However, sports honours are a relatively new thing in the numbers being thrown around now. In the days of Shanks, Paisley and Fagan no-one got them (unless they won the World Cup), and they don't tend to award them posthumously. As for Kenny, his achievements are too far in the past for him to get a Knighthood now. He does have an MBE though, doesn't he?

 

I do think Trevor Brooking deserves his. He's done a huge amount of work for grass roots level sport and has also been involved in loads of charitable stuff. He's an inoffensive grafter who has dedicated his life to raising the profile of sport at all levels. That deserves recognition in my book.

I take your point about the way football has changed in that its acceptable now and nots just this sport followed by thugs. I dont think time should be a factor in knighting Kenny though. Two members of The Shadows got MBEs in this round of awards and they've done fuck all for 20-30 years. Kenny has many unique achievements in football as a player and manager, as well as having always been a great ambassador and should be honoured in the proper manner.

You'll get no arguments about Kenny's suitability from me Steve. He's my hero and the best player I've ever seen. I just can't see him being knighted.

Maybe he should try licking Tony Blair's hoop during the next General Election campaign.

 

Oh I forget, Kenny's got too much class for that.

Why don't we start a whip round from all the forums and a few games next season....surely if we all pull together we can raise the 50 grand needed to get knighted !!!!
