Stevie G OBE

[El Jefecito]

Saw a article somewhere that SG would get the OBE @ the new years honors list.

My question why not Carra? He was as awesome as SG during the CL final, just in a less appreciated role.

FFS he ran around with cramp in "both" groins for the last 20 minutes.

Yes, that as maybe. But Gerrard is the captain of LFC and an England regular etc. etc.

Couldn't give a toss if either gets one. Ideally I'd like them both to turn any honour down.

Sportsmen and Sportswomen shouldn't get such honours. The whole honour system is bollocks. They should be reserved for people doing something for the people of this country outside the scope of their own jobs (above and beyond the call of duty)....and not just being the best footballer/cricketer etc etc.

That's right Red Al but as you know, we are all fickle really.

Honours system is a load of old bollocks.

...is the right answer.

Sorry Al but I disagree in the case of Stevie G. Brian Reade was quoted as saying to his son at full of after the Champions League final 'Look at that scoreboard son, never ever give up on anything'. His heroics that night run a lot deeper than football for some people, which is what Liverpool is all about.

For the same to happen in the FA Cup final is surreal. Obviously it take a team, but it also takes a catalyist to make it happen too.
