Why shouldn't he be given a knighthood - are you saying that because he is Scottish that he should not be given one? That's rather a racist comment!
What nonsense I have read on this thread. Other sports and television stars (who are English) get knighted and we (in Scotland) don't object to that! I sincerely hope Andy gets a knighthood - he is just as deserving of it that anyone else!
That's me finished now with this forum!
Rosemary I am far from being racist, just the opposite, what I was referring to was the fact he is Scottish, and most of the English seem to think he is English when he is clearly not.
But my guess is if you do get independence, Mr Salmond will be claiming the tens of millions he earns for Scotlands coffers.
I really don't give a damn what nationality he is, I just hate how the LTA treated Fred Perry when he turned professional.
But that is another thread entirely in the future when Scotland gets Independence or not.
