Yes he had a very good career (though not as good as he thinks), but to sit and read a news article on the honours list and then sit there stewing enough that you draft a rebuttal is such a strange way to spend an afternoon.
Rooney hasn't got any honours, for example, and he's England's (joint now) record goalscorer.
I went to a lunch where Sol Campbell and Michael Owen were talking about their careers. Campbell actually did a great job of being more boring than Michael Owen and that’s a very high bar!
he’s an utter nob and his social media rantings just reinforce that for me
Really ? What exactly do you see as OTT spiteful stuff ?
I feel sorry for the fella…..he obviously has some unusual traits, without actually doing harm to anyone else as far as I can tell. From what I gather, he would appear to be a bit delusional but has he actually ever hurt anyone or greatly offended someone in anyway….not as far as I know, yes he’s a bit weird but I think he’s harmless enough.

He does have a tendency to bring race into everything he says - not a particularly nice trait

If I look at Steven Gérard and Frank lampard who got opportunities at the highest level I can feel some sympathy for him.However people in the game would be better judges than me or would they ?
Relatively speaking, there's people all over the country who have achieved more, and who piss all over his '20 year commitment' to football, who haven't had any acknowledgement, or been paid a penny for their trouble. Must be really difficult committing to something that makes you very wealthy.
I can't understand where this constant need for approval comes from, Sol Campbell at his best (and he had a prime of, id say, 98-2005) was one of the best CB's in premier league history, I think only a fool would disagree. Can he not be happy with that ? Wayne Rooney is probably the most talented English players of all time and won a lot more doesn't have a knighthood why should Sol Campbell ??

Perhaps a certain poster on here can put you right.

His father-in-law has one so maybe he's feeling inferior

Begging for a Knighthood is a new low, even for him.
And he wonders why he hasnt been recognised!
the sort of guy that will one day turn up naked, on the roof of a random building, smeared in shit and eating ice cream.
According to him at various points, he should have been England captain, a Premier League manager, major of London, and given a knighthood.
Oh and praised for his bravery in telling Spurs he would stay if they appointed Hoddle, then signing for Arsenal for free instead.
I'm sure there's other things too.
And it's all so unfair he isn't, definitely a conspiracy against him and not his own personality.
He won 6 major trophies. Tons of players have won more.
He has 73 England caps. 28 players have earned more.
