Sir Bob Paisley petition - please sign

And because ****head has one, it therefore means we should lower our standards to their level, chasing something that others have, no thanks.

The Bob Paisley Academy, or something along those lines, would be more appropriate, and only then, if the The Paisley Family agree to such an honour.

Couldn't agree more mate! Besides, it doesn't matter anyways... In our hearts, Paisley is knighted. And that's the biggest reward we could ever give to him and his family!

RIP Sir Paisley, ynwa!

He'd already accepted the honour, then died before he received it:

Yeah i know but it brings up a point, the bigger point is what do you think Bob Paisley would have thought about it all.

SUPPORT FOR 'SIR BOB' GATHERS PACE
Mark Platt 27 February 2007
The campaign for the late great Bob Paisley to be granted a posthumous knighthood is gathering momentum.
An on-line petition, launched by Reds fan Ian Little, has been logged with Downing Street and is attracting massive interest.

Almost 13,000 names have already been added and it currently stands in 10th place of the 3,850 e-petitions on the Prime Minister's own website site.

A Whitehall source said: "It has really taken off and it would be difficult to ignore if it really goes stratospheric."

The petition closes on March 13.

It brings up the point that they are not awarded posthumously. In the case of the chap you mentioned, it was awarded when he was still alive, but he died before he could accept it.

As for Paisley, I would guess that he would wonder what all the fuss is about, which happens to be my point of view too.

I would be very surprised if he would have been anything other than embarassed at the thought of a petition to get him knighted.
