Was like most pissed off with him getting sent off after the Argie game but a lot of the vitriol after was well over the top. As for Hoddle throwing him under the bus...that was obscene

It is fucking wrong. I know times have changed so, on that basis, should Ward Prowse score another free kick and break Beckham's record free kick record will he be knighted too?

I remember listening to Bobby Moore doing co commentary with Jonathan Pearce on capital gold when he was clearly not well and struggling.

Absolutely tragic and a disgrace the way he was neglected by the FA in his time of need.

Beckham will never have an ounce of the class of Bobby and is just basically a thick bloke who could take a free kick and got lucky..

A fabricated icon.

Bit mad that 3 of the 5 England players with the most caps as captain for England, are from East London, even if it could be argued NE or Essex border. 2 of them went to the same school, odds on that happening are crazy.

That said, who gives a fuck about these apparent honours these days? Jimmy Saville was knighted for fuck sake.

It's an E postcode, but yeah, nothing interesting ever happened in Chingford. It has about as much personality as all those other North London boroughs full of Spurs. Therefore, it's North London.

Correct.

Though not sure I'd particularly even class Chingford as East London, despite the postcode.
In fairness he was born in Leytonstone and lived there for a couple of years.

Was he knighted for his services to infidelity or for losing the World Cup with a petulant kick out? Or indeed, as posted below, for being the 5th best player in a very good Man United team?

They'll give these knighthoods to anyone. 
Its all Beckham has been after, I'm sure there are other people out there more worthy.
Beckham is now an ambassador for The Kings Foundation. As part of the role, he and Alan Titchmarsh are encouraging youngsters to take up work in horticulture.

David Beckham encouraging young people to take up gardening? WTF!

The east end boy done good and proud patriot seems to be the narrative he is spinning at the moment.

He talked with great fondness previously about his days glass collecting at Walthamstow dogs as a young man and his sadness at its closure, yet when an opportunity arose to put his money where his mouth was in an attempt to save it he declined.

He still loves a bit of pie and mash apparently and is often snapped in traditional east end geezer flat cap tucking in to this food of the gods.

A vocal remainer previously whose face adorned the front page of the Standard the night before the referendum as he advised us to face the challenges of the world together as one and to think of our children's futures and also spoke fondly of how his european teammates and friends had broadened his horizons.

A man United fan of course despite his proud east end upbringing and fondness for all things mockney.

He has done a great deal for charity of course but doesn't like to talk about it (much,) but then so have plenty of others.

I've no real problem with any of the above and he's clearly been very well managed.

However as he is not West ham I think his is a cսnt.

Won nothing for England (unlike Bobby Moore) & was probably the 5th best player in a very good Man Utd team

Anyway, congrats to Sir Derek & Lady Rebecca Loos

Or he earned a knighthood for services to Football (and helping us win the Olympic bid) leading our Country as well as setting up Academies that helped produce the likes of Harry Kane and Charity work his whole life since the age of 14. The money he made as well as all that is irrelevant.

Sooner see the likes of him rather than either Starmer or Khan knighted for genuine services and love of this Country as opposed to trying to destroy it. Local proud Englishman done good. 👏
