Sir Andy Murray, then

Him and Mo Farah.

Think they should be awarded after their careers have ended, like WWE Hall Of Fame inductions

[colon_closed_bracket]

I guess there’s a logic there, but it’s fairly common for people to be awarded knighthoods during the course of their careers.

Looking forward to the Queen doing the Mobot

[colon_closed_bracket]

Whatever floats your boat! (I’m saying that because I’m bored of the phrase “banned act” but I’m not bored of pointing out innuendo)

[Slicky]

It’ll be the king by then I reckon

[shrewbie]

ugh, wish they’d waited til he retired

[hip_young_gunslinger]

The honours system shouldn’t exist in its current form.

[colon_closed_bracket]

*monarchy

[hip_young_gunslinger]

That too.

Andrew Castle, every time Murray wins a point:

• “Arise, Sir Andrew Murray!”
  

[japes]

hot take!

[hip_young_gunslinger]

Where’s MY book deal?

[marckee]

Would have been really funny if he’d turned it down, if only to see the reaction of the ‘Come on Tim!’ Daily Mail readers.

[Severed799]

“I DINNAE CARE ABOUT ENGLAND”
“I AM PRO SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE”
“I HATE THE QUEEN (PROBABLY)”

these headlines write themselves

[ma0sm]

[colon_closed_bracket]

Straight through the ears

[ma0sm]

He’ll get his revenge though

[ma0sm]

Not sure it’s a good idea to knight someone with such a tiny head, tbh

Not too embarrassed to admit that my opinion of Murray has changed completely over time. Obviously there’s no point really going into the non-merits of these sort of titles, etc, but if we are going to reward sportsmen and women then it’d be hard to think of a more rewarding recipient. Even if he was a massive twat, competing against the people he has in the era he has is an absolutely phenomenal achievement. Admittedly it’s only tennis, but even if that’s a largely pointless sport for rich kids there are still some human lessons to be taken from Murray particularly.
