buck Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 If there is a Sir Bradley Wiggens, Sir Nick Faldo, Sir Chris Hoy, Sir Steve Redgrave et al, it follows that there is a very strong argument for a Sir Andy Murray.Does that now mean you'll have a Sir Christopher Froome? ---------- Post added 05-08-2013 at 16:28 ---------- If there is a Sir Bradley Wiggens, Sir Nick Faldo, Sir Chris Hoy, Sir Steve Redgrave et al, it follows that there is a very strong argument for a Sir Andy Murray.Does that now mean you'll have a Sir Christopher Froome? or Sir Bradley Manning.

JFKvsNixon Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Does that now mean you'll have a Sir Christopher Froome? Froome hasn't got the 4 Olympic Gold Medals, and 7 Olympic medals in all to go with Le Tour, so probably not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giraffe Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 People were knighted to defend the realm.............. do you think any of our modern "knights" will be able to answer a call to arms? If they want to hand out awards for achievement I think they should call it something else other than being "knighted" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Murray should win Wimbledon several times, like top players like Sampras, Federer and Borg did before he is Knighted. If we knight him for doing it once, it just makes it look like we have very low expectations of our sports people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronthenekred Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 But he has his reward...............millions of pounds,for playing tennis, why a knighthood? People of this country died in aircrcraft ,tanks and ships and on land not all that long ago and got nothing!...........lets try for some level of perspective! Except the result they fought for.
