Where is Daley Thompson's Knighthood?
He achieved more in the Decathlon than Jessica Ennis did in the Heptathlon?
He won two Olympic Gold Medals, and a World Championship Gold and also broke the World record a few times.
He's only a CBE. The guy needs an upgrade in my opinion. He's the second greatest British athlete of all time behind Mo Farah.
We need the, Sir Daley Thompson campaign starting.

In those days it was rare for sportsmen to get Knighthoods.
It's only recently they have been handing them out more often.
