You know, there are a lot of pop stars, actors, sports people, gormless celebrities, faceless bureaucrats and millionaire bankers swanning around with Sir before their names. All rewarded for being good at their chosen occupation, all, usually paid lottery win salaries in the process; even nasty individuals who ought to be in gaol have been knighted. An award for the rich and famous.

Very few ordinary people are graced with such honours, they are usually awarded MBEs or OBEs which is fine, but these people do difficult and often thankless work in the community for decades normally unpaid, they rarely, if ever, get the big one.

The work that Breks has instigated in this instance which is being picked up by other clubs; plus the fund raising efforts he has organised over the years for the hospice, in my book deserves nothing less than a knighthood for sure.

Agreed,take that Tw@t Lord Ahmed’s title off him & give it to Brecks,Lord Brecks of Rotherham.

He definitely should be recognised for this alone never mind what other things he does

Fantastic post.

Spot on.
Arise Sir John.

Just to add to what others have said, Brecks is a wonderful human being. Always has time for a chat and nothing is too much trouble for him. He eats, sleeps and breaths Rotherham and Rotherham United and we're very lucky to have him. He definitely deserves to be recognised for his services to our community.

Another one of the same ilk sadly gone, suffering from the same disease as Dave Watson.
