GS would certainly get a knighthood if we win the WC, but would a heroic defeat in the final, or earlier in the tournament, also qualify for the honour?

Nah
Manager Alf Ramsey was knighted by the Queen immediately after the World Cup triumph in 1966. Winning then was a doddle by comparison. Lots fewer games. Home advantage. No VAR!

I meant nah to him getting a K if they don't win the tournament. It'll take more than just one heroic losers spot. Or should do.

I think it would take the win at this monet in his career for him to get an early knighthood

He could win the next three world cups as far as I'm concerned and there would still be people more deserving of a knighthood. Anyway the current honours system is a joke and not fit for purpose, pop stars, political lackeys,and sportspeople getting honours while people who save lives or spend years making a difference to their communities are ignored.

True.
I wonder what amazing service Sir Christopher Chope gave to 'earn' his knighthood.

Well if "Baldrick" can become Sir Tony Robinson it proves it's who you know (or who you're shagging) rather than what you know (unless it's what you know about somebody else!!). .

Completely agree, get rid of them altogether, the establishment hands some minor gong to a lollipop lady thinking us mere commoners will think it's a fair system, then hand numerous knighthoods etc to all there political and arty farty mates.
