New Year Honours 2024 List

Beckham snubbed again

So what?

Kevin Sinfield, very well deserved young man. Also Robbie Burrow, what strength in the face of all he's going through.

I think Kevin Sinfield should have been made a "sir"

whats beckham ever done? hes only famous for marrying a talentless singer! and kicking a bag of wind around

Honours list is a farce

The Uk doesn’t generally award honours to those who demand them and have ‘history’ with HMRC.

Despite his popularity and charitable work, his gong is a long way off.

Too many get honours for doing nothing while many who do something never get any.

The whole system is outdated and should be scrapped!

Now I am getting worried OC ,that's another of your posts I agree with

These awards show how vacuous celebrity as pervaded our culture .
Ephemeral nobodies that will be forgotten in 6 months given gongs you once had to defeat the Spanish Armada to get .
That woman goalkeeper with the foul mouth ( what's her name) says it all......

whats beckham ever done

have you posted that because he played for UTD?

I was surprised to read that in the history of Rugby League not one single knighthood had been awarded to anyone in the game .
Is this correct .?

Billy Boston is an MBE grimshaw not a knighthood I know.

No I posted it because it's facts

i don't think so

'Doddy' managed it.

off Wikipedia

With United, he won the Premier League title six times

the FA Cup twice and the UEFA Champions League in 1999

four seasons with Real Madrid,[11] winning the La Liga championship

Beckham made his England debut on 1 September 1996, at the age of 21. He was captain for six years, earning 58 caps during his tenure

He made 115 career appearances in total, appearing at three FIFA World Cup tournaments, in 1998, 2002 and 2006 and two UEFA European Championship tournaments, in 2000 and 2004. He held the England appearance record for an outfield player until 2016.

He was runner-up in the Ballon d'Or in 1999, twice runner-up for FIFA World Player of the Year (1999 and 2001) and in 2004 was named by Pelé in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players

That's what he's done

Did it all on his own and for free then did he Baz.

Like I said he's done nothing but kick a ball of wind about and your post proved it have you ever seen him use a spade?

Peter you don't achieve All that without being talented

Egg have you ever used a spade.

This was posted by the delusional one when asked had he ever used a spade.
