Southgate: Won nothing, got a knighthood...

Completely revitalised the whole National League set up, across all ages.

Made people across the country sit up and be proud of the National Team, made players become aware of the importance so they'd stop dropping out.

Whether he should have performed better is one thing; but stark reality is he made Semi Final and 2 finals in 3 of 4 Tournaments, in a time where Germany struggled, Italy and Netherlands failed to qualify.

Very limited manager, but the wider picture says he's done a lot
For Sport.

This, it’s been given for his contribution to the game overall rather than just for the national team over the last couple years

The cryarsing and lack of understanding from Rugby League fans is hilarious by the way, Sinfield would have had the knighthood today, had he not already been upgraded to CBE last January, it’ll be another two years before he’s upgraded again

The bigger scandal is how both David Beckham and Lou Macari still haven’t had any recognition

I rather subscribe to George Best's view of Beckham: '...He cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right...'
