Should Andy Murray be Knighted?

Seems Cameron thinks so!

Prime Minister David Cameron says Andy Murray deserves a knighthood after becoming the first Briton to win the Wimbledon men's singles since 1936.

Murray won the title with a 6-4 7-5 6-4 triumph against world number one Novak Djokovic on Sunday.

"I can't think of anyone who deserves one more," said Mr Cameron, who watched the match from the Royal Box.

But Murray said: "It's a nice thing to have or be offered but I don't know if it merits that."

Mr Cameron said Murray's win had "lifted the spirits of the whole country".

"It was a fantastic day for Andy Murray, for British tennis and for Britain," he added.

"We were wondering on Sunday morning, 'do we dare to dream that this is possible?' and he proved absolutely that it was."

The prime minister cannot personally award an honour to the 26-year-old, stressing that they are decided independently.

People are nominated for their achievements by members of the public and whether they are given an honour - and the type of honour - is decided by a committee.

The committee's decision goes to the prime minister and then to the Queen.

What do you think?

What a surprise Cameron trying to grab a few votes.

If the prime minister can't think of "anyone more deserving" of a knighthood than a fucking tennis player we've got problems.

does he fuck deserve to be knighted.

It's a bit early for a Knighthood. An MBE would be more appropriate at this stage of his career. He still has a few more Grand Slam titles left in him before he hangs up his racket.

Cameron's just trying to get on the bandwagon and get some of the positive limelight on him. Despite the fact his government has sanctioned cuts to grass roots tennis and the LTA. The mans a complete twat, just like Alex Salmond who couldn't wait to unfurl his Scotland flag at the final. Politicians should keep their noses out of sport unless they've made any sort of significant/helpful contribution. 

It's far too early to give him a knighthood, maybe in the future but now is just ridiculous.

Considering some of the bullshit reasons for giving out Knighthoods then yes he deserves one.

To be fair i enjoyed seeing my guy Alex waving the Bratach na h-Alba (wikipedia) behind that PLUM'S head.



Shameless.

Biggest bunch of twats ive seen in a long time looks like monty pythons upper class twit of the year.

Murray's a cunt cant stand him, knight him ,i'd stick the sword up his fucking arse the scottish gentleman.

Anti scottish bile.

should be removed but wont be.

Does he fuck deserve to get knighted.

I think you are doing him a disservice AD. He has had to overcome mental and physical trauma to get where he is today.
Murray was born with a bipartite patella, where the kneecap remains as two separate bones instead of fusing together in early childhood.
He was also a pupil at Dunblane when Thomas Hamilton went berserk and killed all those poor children.

Hell no!  Why should he?  All he has doen is his job and nothing above and beyond that!!!

If he did get it, then we should start a campagin for Nat Lofthouse to be posthumously granted a Knighthoood as he did far much more that what Murray has ever done, so far!!!

Thats tough RT for sure but its not a reason to change my mind about him ,just dont like the bloke.

He can't really help his personality but he showed his human side after winning Olympic gold. I admire his drive to succeed and single minded determination, irregardless of where he hails from.

Wouldn't you think the scruffy cunt would get his hair cut.

 Have you seen the price of fucking haircuts these days and he is a scot!!

Putting the Knighthood to one side, I reckon he is a shoe-in for BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. He would have got it last year for winning Gold but for the sterling efforts of SIR Bradley Wiggins.  

And just to cane the bookies go for the Lions to win the team award with their victory over the Wallabies in Australia.

If you like a bet then get your money on the double now.

Will Tyson fury get one if he wins the heavyweight championship of the world. Knighthood that is.

£8.50 at Washingtons or there are other places in town that do haircuts for a fiver!

To be fair to Murray he even came out today and said that he doesn't deserve one for winning a sport event.

The guy has really gone up in my estimation since losing last year and winning this years Wimbledon, seems like a top bloke even if he does come across a bit miserable at times.
