Lord Fergie?

MUST patron Tony Lloyd MP along with fellow Red Graham Stringer have put down an Early Day Motion calling for Fergie to become a Lord. As long as it doesn't interfere with the day job ....

SIR ALEX FERGUSON

• Session: 2010-11
• Date tabled: 15.06.2011
• Primary sponsor: Stringer, Graham
• Sponsors: 
  • Lloyd, Tony

That this House recognises the economic, social, cultural and sporting importance of football to the United Kingdom; is therefore surprised at the paucity of representatives from the world of football in the Upper House; further notes that Sir Alex Ferguson, as the manager of Aberdeen and Manchester United, is the most successful manager inthe history of British football; and calls for him to be recommended for appointment to the House of Lords.
