Is David Beckham worthy of a knighthood

"Seems to do his bit for charity and promotes his country, so maybe"
It's been reported that he has an agreement with Unicef for first class travel & top hotels on their expenses so not as innocent as it seems.
He's also tried avoiding tax to the King's government so can't see how he should get one.
Definitely wants one though. |

I never understand why people sometimes think that working for a charity should entail a low wage and hardship. He's working for them, not donating.
If his net input is better than the cost, then the charity is benefitting. Plus, who knows, maybe he donates a lot to charity as well?

Seems like he's in good company then. I hear that a LOT of senior government members employ Tax Consultants to bring their bill down. They even claim back what they pay the consultant as a Business Expense, thereby reducing the bill even more!!
I dare say, even with all that going on, he still pays more than Starbucks, Apple, me and you combined.

"So because others avoid tax him doing it is somehow irrelevant?
Can you give details on his actual personal cash donations to charity please?"
Less relevant as to the question about whether he deserves an honour.
No. See "Who knows?" above.
