David Beckham To Be Honoured With The Knighthood. Suits Him - Sir Becks!

David Beckham could well begin his year with a knighthood after being nominated for the New Year’s Honours List.

The 38-year-old football ambassador has been named as one of the potential candidates for the Royal accolade, with officials reportedly carrying out standard checks before he is officially confirmed.

Final approval will be given later this month, with Beckham’s £165 million fortune one of the factors being assessed by officials before he gets the green light.

From across the Atlantic we say Sir Becks thumbs up!
