Arise Sir David Beckham?

David Beckham could be Sir Becks by next year, according to one Sunday Britsh newspaper, which claims Prime Minister David Cameron and Prince William are backing his case for a knighthood in the New Year’s Honours.

Both are said to have been impressed by the former England captain’s contribution to both the successful 2012 Olympics bid and the failed effort to land the 2018 World Cup.
 
Sir Trevor Brooking, who was the last top player to be knighted, also backed calls for the ex-Manchester United winger to receive the honour.
 
“I can’t think of anyone in sport more fitting to be awarded a knighthood than David Beckham,” the former West Ham star told 'The Sunday Express'.
