Bradley Wiggins got one for riding a bike!!!!!
Which athletes got a Knighthood for winning silver?
Botham got one for smoking pot!
Jimmy Savile got one..................
Allen Stanford for operating a Ponzi scheme..
I think he does deserve it. First British person to win a Grand Slam first one to win Wimbledon ect... I was very surprised he didnt get Sports personality of the year.
. First British person to win a Grand Slam first one to win Wimbledon ect
========================================
Fred Perry won 3 Wimbledon titles; Laurence Doherty won 5 Wimbledon titles.
Virginia Wade won 1 Wimbledon title.
None of the above were knighted.
I really wish people would educated themselves before they spout nonsense.
Sir Virginia Wade.....i'm sure she would have loved that !!!!!!!!
Educate themselves....your having a laugh, when did they ever give a woman a knighthood.
If only you could read Barab...
And Virginia Wade was not made a Dame either.
Murray deserves to be knighted. It's true.
Dame Andy sounds beautiful.
The Mandy
Da Mandy
Dum(b)Andy
Demandy
.....you can spin this so may ways!
Red......
I can read.
You wrote none of the above received a knighthood, the above names were Fred Perry, Laurence Doherty and Virginia Wade ....... try reading your own post!!!!
What exactly did David Beckham achieve in football? Did he ever win the pinnacle of the sport - The World Cup? Bradley Wiggins was knighted on the back of his Tour de France and gold medals (I thought that was deserved) and Andy has achieved about the same.
Leave the knighthood until he has retired though but it will be merited.
Brian Clough never got one.
He won the top prize in Europe twice; Fergie got his after the one European win.
Equitable, the honours system is not.
And why has the OP stolen my name? (Nearly)
All that was wrong with Ferguson's knighthood was its timing as in perhaps a tad to soon. What he went on to achieve definitely merited it as his achievements and longevity are unheard of in football. A knighthood for Murray should wait until he has retired in my opinion.
Murrays won 2 majors with many more to come
hes won a gold and silver medal
28 tour titles
1st Wimbledon winner for 77 years
nations expectations on his shoulders
what hes done for British tennis
of course he deserves a knighthood
1st Wimbledon winner for 77 years
=======================
But he was not the first Wimbledon winner for 77 years.
