    I must admit, off the top of my head I'm not aware of any current players who are an MBE. I'm just being lazy and not typing google!
    No, just that there's always something to moan about either way because the whole thing is just so flawed.

      The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire is a British order of chivalry established on 4 June 1917 by King George V. The Order includes five classes in civil and military divisions; in decreasing order of seniority, these are

      Knight Grand Cross or Dame Grand Cross (GBE)
      Knight Commander or Dame Commander (KBE or DBE)
      Commander (CBE)
      Officer (OBE)
      Member (MBE)

      Only the two highest ranks entail admission into knighthood allowing the receiver to use the title 'Sir' (male) or 'Dame' (female) before one's name, such as Sir Clive Woodward who is a KBE.
      Does anyone else think this reads like a history report from Bill and Ted?
      .
      Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



      May the Lord bless this post.

        MBE is a bit weird...

        Like the 98 year old woman who was awarded an MBE last year for serving chips in a chipshop for 80 years
