    That's John Fashanu getting the Franny treatment and the award is for services to football.

    I think the whole queen`s honours system is a load of BS - but if anyone deserves a gong, its him. Top bloke.

    Absolutely this.
    When you consider that a "person" like Iain Duncan Smith MP got a knighthood for indirectly killing a calculated 12,000 UK citizens [or is it STILL subjects?] by overseeing a decade of Tory austerity, and making a pre-ghost visited Scrooge look slightly generous, then you really have to question the validity of any of these awards. If IDS is a Sir, then Franny ought to be President of the UK. And one of his first executive orders would be to strip IDS of his knighthood. Frankly, that is a scenario I would applaud.
