Re: Sir Beckham?
I think 'they' should wait a few years, see what he does after his football career is over. If he's still a great ambassador for Football and charities, then I think it would be OK and he would have earned it.

Of course he'll get one. She's given so many away that she's run out of ideas and is down to the dregs. His son will get one next week and in 5 years you'll get them free with corn flakes.
Really who gives a f**k?

Re: Sir Beckham?
In my humble opinion (I don't want to get grilled!) Becks is too young and has done too little to deserve the title.
Zizou is one of the best footballers of all times (the best if you ask me), he was always a joy to watch he played with such skill, accuracy and elegance. He was given every major award that a player can achieve.. It is hardly fair to remember him by his last match

Sir Zindane might not be appropiate if the situation were reversed, I guess was the point.

I don't quite see what Zidane has to do with it? He's not elligible for it, so why bring him up? All I meant was, if Beckham is still promoting football and is as prominent and influential when he's retired as he is now, it would seem more appropriate.
