Just been knighted and a thoroughly well deserved honour. A working class boy who left school at 13 with no qualifications, left the navy after being turned down for officer training and used his £39 discharge money to start his own business and became a multi millionaire. Now has his own foundation which has donated £100m into grassroots sports clubs and provides grants to kids who contribute to the clubs they belong to. A man who has directly impacted the football and cricket clubs I work with to the tune of thousands of pounds and an true unsung hero. Those in power at the Premier League, at clubs and players take note!

When you see awards handed out to various cronies, it is great to see someone who has given so much to society being recognised.
