It is reported that in the emails the former England captain said the honours committee are “unappreciative c****.”

Beckham was awarded an OBE for his services to football in 2003 but it appears that isn't enough for him with 'Becks' quoted to have said “unless it’s a knighthood f*** off.”

Not only is beckham upset to not have received a knighthood but he has strong opinions on other individuals who have been awarded an honour, including Katherine Jenkins.
