Golden balls himself David Beckham is reportedly in line to receive a knighthood after being put forward for the New Year's Honours List.
After officials carry out standard checks, including assessing his £165m net-worth, final approval is due later this month.
The retired footballer was given odds of 5/4 of receiving a knighthood this year.
This is also good news for wifey Victoria Beckham because if his name does appear on the Honours List it will mean not only will he become Sir David, she will become Lady Victoria.
Condolences
The 38-year-old was left heartbroken after the death of his grandmother Peggy West, who passed on Friday.
Peggy, mother of Becks’ mum Sandra, suffered a stroke but lost her fight for life in hospital during the early hours.
Peggy, whose husband Joseph died in 2009, lived in an East London nursing home since 2011.
She was 83 years old when she passed and was with Becks when he received his OBE at Buckingham Palace 10 years ago.
A source close to David said, “He is absolutely devastated. He and Peggy were very close.
“Becks spoke to her often. The whole family is grieving for a wonderful woman right now.”
Last year the ex-Manchester United football star, surprised his grandmother when he visited her at the nursing home.
