Simon Fuller praises David Beckham's patriotism and calls for knighthood recognition

David Beckham's former manager, Simon Fuller, has praised him as "the most patriotic guy" and believes he deserves a knighthood. Beckham has long expressed a desire for this honor, despite past frustrations with the honors committee. In 2017, leaked emails suggested Beckham was upset about not receiving further recognition, which he denies as fake. His past comments about other honorees have raised questions about his eligibility for future honors. Beckham received an OBE in 2003, but his complex tax arrangements may hinder further accolades. However, his relationship with King Charles could influence future considerations for honors.
