    Joe Fagan (Liverpool) 1 Euro Cup
    Jock Stein (Celtic) 1 Euro Cup

    SIR Alex Ferguson (MAN UTD) 2 Euro Cups
    SIR Matt Busby (MAN UTD) 1 Euro Cup

    Both Man Utd managers knighted. None of the others?!?! I know the knighthoods arent just for Euro Cup wins alone but still?!? A little 'strange' maybe. I've nowt against/for any Premier club but I just thought it was a little bit of a thought provoker.

    I think the world, or at least Glasgow would've imploded had Jock Stein been knighted with all the rumours doing the rounds regarding what allegedly was going on at Celtic.

    Fergie and Busby I believe were Knighted under a Labour Gov, the others were doing their thing under the Tories, and we know how they Hate football....This might be total b0llocks...Dunno.

    Paisley and Clough should definitely have been knighted if the criteria used to knight Fergie and Matt Busby was used fairly.
