If there is anyone out there that doesn't believe he deserves a knighthood then compare what inspiration he has given us compared to Sir Rolf Harris and Sir Jimmy Saville I must say that I am very disappointed in the response to this petition by our membership I really expected this to go viral

Originally posted by stagstan View Postperhaps not everyone likes to shout about signing it!is there something to be ashamed of ?? I would have thought supporting a fellow countryman on a fantastic achievement was something to be proud of. I don't think there is enough of it (except when it comes to football
) Still each to his/her own as they say.

Graham, I'm not ashamed but just didn't bother to write "I've signed"
Besides, what is being knighted really worth now days? Like you say, Saville got one, so did Alex Furgeson for managing a football club!
Im sure John Surtees doesn't need to be knighted, those who know just know he will never be bettered!
That was my real point

Originally posted by Staggard View PostI take your point Jason, and you are undoubtedly right that a knighthood is not worth a t**s but at least its some sort of recognition, after all Mr Moss has got one and he never won the world championship once.
I also think Carl Fogarty should be Knighted, winning the World Super Bike Championship 4 times must be worth something?

Originally posted by stagstan View PostVery true, perhaps his celeb status helped there?
