[1973Blade]

Curtis Woodhouse awarded an British Empire Medal, congratulations to him. A select band of Blades players to have been given an honour.

Think a British Empire Medal is different to an MBE but putting my pedantry to one side it’s a great achievement

Was a superb player for us / loved watching him play but then lost his way - transferred and fell out of love with football. I remember laughing upon hearing of him becoming a professional boxer. How wrong was I and many others who laughed at him. He certainly showed us cynical fans and got utmost admiration for him having the courage to do what his heart told him. Certainly taught me a life lesson to not be so judgemental of others - particularly those I don’t know. Well done and well deserved !

Thanks, my mistake. I was just in time to alter my post but not the title!

Fair play to CW - I'm a big boxing fan and followed his career. He achieved far more than could be expected.

Is this a belated award for him travelling to spark that twat out who was trolling him on Twitter?

Someone now wants to have a rumble with him...

I know the initial news had a Frostie reception on here, but fair play.

Nice to see they invited him for breakfast

Didn't he, for a bet, win some crank world boxing title with an obscure council, then promptly retire? Sounds like my kind of maverick.

He'd had his Weetabix.
