Beckham's knighthood

Should David Beckham be knighted seems to be the question du jour?

Absolutely not. What has he actually achieved? Bobby Moore let England to our only World Cup win and didn't get a K. Geoff Hurst, who does have one, is the only man to score a hat-trick in a World Cup Final. Bobby Charlton, another stalwart of 1966, had to wait until 1994 before he became Sir Bobby.

As for the rest, an MBE sufficed.

What has Beckham actually achieved? How many times has he led England to victory in the World Cup or even the European Championship?

He is most known for his ridiculous voice, a series of daft hairstyles, having an affair with Rebecca Loos and wearing a sarong.

Should Beckham get a K? No.
Will he? Knowing Blair's pathetic posturing to celebrities and headline - probably.
