If he'd kept us in the premiership they would have put him in the Lords

but hearty congrats to the great sir Mad.

Congrats Sir John. The abuse he got in pre season was disgusting.

A true legend in RFC history.

Sir John Madejski....Sounds awesome to have him as a chairman.

Royal club deserves a chairman with a knighthood :D

It'd be more logical for a royal club to have a Duke as a chairman. Windsor and Eton FC (the Royalists) have the Duke of Edinburgh as patron.

Good lad. People have been knighted for a lot less. Knowing him he refused to open his cheque book, and they finally gave in anyway. As I said, good lad.

Delighted for him - even if he is a bl00dy Tory.

In my view, many knighthoods are just cynical appreciation of oiky, wide boy benefactors and, while Sir Mad Man does have his ego, it doesn't need massaging like many I could mention.

Sir John - how good does that sound? - does loads to support worthy causes, both quietly and not so quietly.

Arise!
