Who are all the footballers ever to be knighted? So far, I know of: Sir Alex Ferguson Sir Bobby Charlton Sir Matthew Busby (and any not connected with ManU?)
I think there's a Sir Geoff Hurst as well, but I'm not sure whether or not Bobby Moore was knighted ever.
sir bobby robson soon to be sir Brian Clough .... or should be as he has done more than booby and sir alex put together in football.
Because you worship an ageing French sourpuss who'se only at your club because you gave him three times the money he was on in Germany. Isn't it obvious?
What about Sir Roger Hunt...??? And we're still working on Liverpools greatest player. Billy Liddell....Sir William of Liddellpool. Has a nice ring to it...!!!
There are various awards. I think it goes MBE, OBE and then CBE, but I'm not 100% sure. People can be knighted (sirs) and made Lords etc., there's quite a lot of these things. Wasn't Walter Winterbottom knighted?
The newest CM Sorted update for Championship Manager 01/02 has one Sir Les Ferdinand listed. Someone tell me this is a joke.
Yes he was, in 1978. Others mentioned are: Stanley Matthews - 1965 (first professional footballer to get a Knighthood) Tom Finney - 1998 (a criminal length of time in my book) Alf Ramsey - 1967 Bobby Robson - 2002 Geoff Hurst - 1998 Alex Ferguson - 1999 Matt Busby - 1968
Unfortunately, yes it's a joke, but for his services to QPR in the early 90's, I'd canonize him. Nat Lofthouse wasn't knighted.
