Re: ? Sir David Beckham ?
He's a nice enough lad isn't he, but there's not a lot there though.He's done very well considering though and I don't knock that - you do the best you can with what you have, so for that reason alone then Yes, he's a role model - but a Sir?!!
Naaah! stevmk2

And about time too. David Beckham would have been a wonderful role model for young boys had he not been treated so badly by Ferguson and the press.For the record:
As fas as I'm aware, he holds the most caps and sportspeople have been awarded knighthoods for much less. He has 115 caps - 58 of which he captained the game. That's pretty outstanding in that sport and worth being recognised.
The charity work of the Beckhams is reputedly unrivalled (excluding charitable organsiations) and rarely publicised. However, before retiring earlier this year, he donated his entire £3.5million pay packet from Paris Saint-Germain to a children’s charity in the French capital. How many others have you heard of that donate that level of their equally massive incomes?
No wonder the pair of them cleared off and left Britain - what exactly is that you feel makes him unworthy when compared to others who get the same award?

Well you have to admit that he does make a great role model. Surely to catapult him further in to the limelight will pay dividends. Lets face it our lives are ruled by trivia but at least this bit should help kids form a more suitable idea of how to behave in adulthood. I mean what if they decided to make a sir out of Gazza
