Couldn't agree more with all the sentiments posted above. The inexcusable slowness of those responsible for acknowledging Sinfield's contribution in fighting Motor Neurone is shaming, so perhaps whoever's responsible for this 'error' can do whatever is necessary to right this wrong.

There are many things about today's world that I find painful and leave me speechless, perhaps recognising Sinfield's efforts
can go some way to correcting this side of life.

Ian Botham?

Yeah will give you that one so we are at 3 of 825 members, although I could go through the full list, I don't have that much spare time, it was amusing that both Plaid Cymru Lords weren't actually born in Wales. They had parents or moved there later but not Welsh by birth

Really surprised nothing put out by the club about this

I have long thought that Sinfield is more deserving of a knighthood than anyone else in public life, but I learned recently that it is not a deliberate slight. Sinfield already has an MBE, an OBE and a CBE - the last awarded in 2024. There apparently has to be a gap between an award of a CBE and a Knighthood, although I don't know how long that gap is. I expect that when that time period expires Sinfield will be knighted.

Didn't seem a lot of people there which is a shame, club could and should have done more . Collection on Saturday would go a long way to help

I cheered him on when he ran through Millhouses. I thought the streets would be lined with throngs of people, but that wasn't the case at all.

There were a few of us at Totley this morning, but the lack of publicity is very disappointing.

There's a good article at the BBC.

It was on national and local news on Monday when he ran through Suffolk, but there was nothing like the numbers that turned out to watch the Tour of Britain cycling race
Those of us who did go to watch couldn't understand the lack of support

Jimmy Savile did that, and he got a knighthood.

I'm not usually interested in the knighthood conversation - people like Jacob Rees-Mogg and the usual line up of actors indicate to me that he honours system is a load of bobar, but I'd be right behind Kevin Sinfield getting one.

If I were an actor myself, and had to look misty-eyed for the camera, the image I'd bring to mind would be Kevin Sinfield carrying Rob Burrow over the line at the end of the Leeds marathon. He's a fucking legend.

He's finally been knighted. I stand by what I say above but I am absolutely delighted for Sir Kevin Sinfield.

He's a fucking hero.

 

[AnglesWithDirtyFaces]

Very well deserved, many congratulations Sir Kevin

 

[Bladesthorpe]

A rarity, someone who 100% deserves it.

 

[Vinny Kept Us Up]

What an example of a man. ABOUT TIME

Absolutely deserved, meanwhile 20 year old Michelle Agyemang gets a MBE for coming on as sub for England and scoring a goal.
