People love to find a reason to hate DB, but I have to wonder why (ok, marrying and stopping posh spice disappearing into obscurity apart). But here is a guy who has made the most of what he has got talent wise, didn’t winge when his career looked to be peaking, extended his career through very hard work, was friendly to my wife and son in shop(!), worked hard for the Olympics and the World Cup, is presentable and pleasant in interviews. Quite a contrast to many of his peers. And of course, the free kick against Greece!!
So good for him, there are far worse out there. Not sure he deserves a knighthood but lesser figures have got them.
