Makes it easier to know who goes up against the wall first come the revolution:flag:
Along with the likes of Sir Kenny Dalglish, Sir Andy Murray, Sir Ax Ferguson and Sir Chris Hoy?Quote:

The previous 4 you mentioned all won major achievements.Quote:

He got an OBE in 2019, I could almost understand the knighthood if he had lifted a major honour with England.

Definitely deserves to be in the same bracket as Ferguson, Dalglish and Ramsey.
Best Pizza Hut advert and for his services to the Saxe-Coburg family in helping Germany on their way to win Euro 96.
Won the same amount of trophies as Steve Clarke
Did he no win 2 League Cups as well before becoming England boss? Can’t forget themQuote:
