Zappa 0 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Motion in Parliament by Gregory Campbell MP - That this House recognises the outstanding achievements of Walter Smith, recently retired manager of Glasgow Rangers FC, having guided the club to a Scottish Premier League 54th league title which was the third consecutive triumph at a time when the club's future was uncertain due to takeover speculation, and when the club had very scarce resources which itself led to a very small playing squad; and expresses hope that steps have already been taken to ensure that Mr Smith, who has been widely acknowledged by numerous football professionals on and off the pitch as being one of the most successful Scottish football managers in the past 50 years, will be suitably recognised in the forthcoming honours announcements. http://www.parliament.uk/edm/2010-11/1823 :spl::spl::spl::spl::spl::spl::spl::spl::spl::spl: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

metlika 0 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Sir Walter has an OBE Barry Ferguson even has an MBE. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 If Walter is honoured again it's hard to say what it will be. Sir Alex Ferguson was made an OBE, then a CBE, then made Knight Bachelor a few years later, but it's possible to be Knighted if you are only an MBE or OBE. Sir Paul McCartney for example is an MBE. It would be really nice for Walter and his family if he's knighted. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 On a less impressive note he was mentioned in the magazine "Sport" that is handed out free at my gym behind Villa Boas and Pep Guardiola as the manager of the year (outwith England) for a record 54th title for Rangers and 3 in a row in times of boardroom and ownership uncertainty and also potential financial oblivion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Not being biased - he deserves a knighthood. There's very few who have given such dignified service to sport. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
