1st reason is that not much british players or any players around the world played for a club for such long period of time.
2nd is his achievements while playing for the club = awesome....
3rd he is royal to clubs and always avoiding limelight/bad press
he really deserve the title....

I like starhawk's reply... And I agree very much...
What else must he do to achieve his knighthood???
He has scored in every season for the past 17 seasons. He's the most decorated English Premiership player. He has the most appearances at Utd. He won Goal of the Season in 1999 against Arsenal. He's less controversial on / off the pitch. I think that's very much deserving. And I'm sure a lot of rival fans would say that even though they hate Utd, it is very difficult to hate someone like Ryan Giggs who doesn't cheat nor dive...

Gerrard have indeed been honour for his service to sports but its like the one Giggs got too or Mark Hughes... The rank doesn't allow him to be address as "Sir" though...
I guess Giggs will get his after he retire from playing... Cos I don't think there is any still actively playing players being given the title of "Sir" yet...
Beckham came rather close for consideration when then PM Tony Blair recommended him for the honour having played a part in London winning the right to host the Olympic Games in 2012. But many consider him still too young for such an honour... Therefore I guess he has to wait a little longer...
There are only six football knights at present. And they are Tom Finney, Bobby Charlton, Geoff Hurst, Alex Ferguson and Trevor Brooking as well as Bobby Robson in 2002... I guess they will have to be 40 and above before they can be consider for knighthood.

Gerrard has only MBE and that's like Singapore's PBM..SAF is not knighted under the orders of chivalry but under Knights Bachelor..meaning though he is "Sir", he doesn't have the suffix (Knight of the British Empire)..and I'm sure Ryan Giggs will be knighted as a Knight Bachelor...sportsmen of other sports like rugby, canoeing,sailing,cycling (like Chris Hoy who was knighted for winning the Olympic gold medal
) are easily given knighthoods and MBEs...Arise, Sir Ryan Giggs

alan shearer? the mouse who doesn't dare to take the Newcastle job?
or because he elbowed the most people on his way to scoring the most penalties??
well, how many Liverpool players in the 80s have more championship medals than Giggs?

Indeed he is, indeed he is...
But why do you like to pick on Ronaldo too? Why bring him into this discussion... To be honest, Ronaldo at 23 has already surpass what Shearer has achieved in his professional playing career...
When Shearer was 23, he has only 39 goals in total as a striker... Ronaldo has already scored 60 at that age... But more importantly, as a midfielder...
And Shearer's best goals return of 31 in a 38 games season was equal by Ronaldo last season... While Shearer achieved his playing in 35 matches, Ronaldo did it in 34.
Shearer for all the goals he scored, he was only considered "a good English player"... Foreign coaches, managers and players never recognized him as the top talent... He never won the Ballon d'Or or the Fifa world player of the year either over the span of his career... While Ronaldo has already achieved these at 23...
The thread is about Giggs... Well, he has also achieve a lot more then Shearer too... Scoring in 19 consecutive seasons... Or all 17 Premier League season since it started... And the most important one... 10 EPL winners medals to Shearer's 1.

to begin with i agree that ronaldo and giggs are both good players. i mentioned ronaldo because of icefatboy's comments on shearer elbowing his way to penalties.
lets stick to giggs and forget about ronaldo and shearer or we will digress.
