David Beckham can become a knight

The former captain of the England football team David Beckham, who is now part of the Madrid Real Madrid, can become the owner of the Knight's Order before the end of his career.

According to the English media, Beckham has already been included in the annual list of people who are honored with such honor.

David Beckham can get a knightly title before the completion of his sports career. According to the Daily Mail , the British Prime Minister Tony Blair intends to include the former captain of the England national team in the annual New Year list on the presentation of the knight for his contribution to London’s victory in the struggle for the 2012 Olympics.

"Beckham has become a symbol of our time. The leaders of the Labor Party are perfectly aware of this. The appropriation of Beckham of the knightly title will be not only recognition of his merits, but also an excellent populist course before the next election," a source in the Westminster palace told the publication.

Recall that David Beckham was the face of the Olympic application by London and, together with the representatives of the London-2012 organizing committee, flew to Singapore, where the winner of the Olympic race was announced at the next session of the IOC, MIGNEWS reports.

In 2003, the midfielder of the Madrid Real Madrid and the England team became the gentleman of the Order of the British Empire. In the event that Beckham received a knightly title, he will stand on a par with such legendary football players as Sir Bobby Charleton, Sir Bobby Moore and Sir Jeff Herst (author Hit-trick in the 19th World Cup).
