Beckham, 50, has long yearned for a knighthood after his services to the beautiful game.

And Spice Girl wife Victoria will benefit by becoming Lady Beckham.

Former Manchester United star Becks, who played 115 times for England and has made major contributions to charity, has struck up a firm friendship with King Charles.

He will now join an exclusive group of other British football personalities to receive royal knighthoods.

But just 16 names are already on the list.

The first was Sir Charles Clegg, who received his award in 1927 after both playing for England and later serving as chairman and president of the FA.

He was followed by Sir Stanley Rous in 1949, a former referee who was also the sixth president of FIFA.

England legend Sir Stanley Matthews next received one in 1965 while still being an active player, having become the first person to win the European Footballer of the Year award.

World Cup-winning manager Sir Alf Ramsey then got his in 1967, a year after leading the Three Lions to glory against West Germany.

And in 1968 it was the turn of Man United icon Sir Matt Busby, the first manager of an English team to win the European Cup.

Fast forward 10 years later and Sir Walter Winterbottom was the next to receive a knighthood after becoming the first-ever England gaffer in 1946.

Sir Bert Millichip then got one in 1991 after his time as chairman of the FA.

Three years later it was Sir Bobby Charlton’s turn, having previously been award a CBE and an OBE.

In 1998, both Sir Geoff Hurst and Sir Tom Finney were knighted by the Queen – with news of the latter’s honour exclusively revealed by SunSport.

And one year later Sir Alex Ferguson received his after leading Man United to the Treble.

Newcastle legend Sir Bobby Robson was then knighted in 2002 thanks to his iconic career in the dugout.

Sir Trevor Brooking followed two years later, with Sir Dave Richards honoured in 2006.

Sir Kenny Dalglish then became the next 12 years later in 2018 thanks to his brilliant time with Liverpool as both boss and player.

And in January, Sir Gareth Southgate was awarded for leading England for successive second-place finishes at the European Championships.

Now, it’s Beckham’s turn to take his place among the pantheon of British football legends.

But an additional knighthood has also been given to a non-Brit, with the late Brazilian legend Pele receiving an honorary one in 1997.

RESIDENTS of a town made famous by a hit TV show have hit out at brazen tourists who peer through their windows and block their driveways.

Bampton in Oxfordshire was made famous by the hit period piece with several locations across the village used in filming.

Locals have said the town, which features in Downton Abbey, has become a magnet for tourism and now attracts thousands of brash visitors a year.

Some residents told the Telegraph that the tourism has made them a small fortune and helped to improve local amenities.

Others have slammed the tourists, demanding their quant village be freed of “brash American accents.”

Residents of Bampton have told horror stories of their encounters with tourists.

Locals have been subjected to selfie-sticks appearing at bedroom windows, tourists wandering into their back gardens and buses blocking up narrow streets. 

Guided tours of the village are offered to fans of the hit show with some charging as much as £500.

Busloads of fans are taken around the small village to visit filming locations made famous by the British drama series.

Local shop owners have claimed at one point they were making £1,000 a day from the tourists.

The thousands of pounds raised from visiting TV fans has been used to fund renovation works to buildings.

Local services have also been improved using the massive wealth brought into the community.

Despite all this locals still hit out saying they’ve had enough of nosey tourists peering in their windows and obstructing their driveways.

One resident told The Telegraph: “My friend overheard a tour guide say that Bampton was nothing before Downton Abbey.

“Let me tell you – Bampton was a beautiful, expensive place to live long beforehand.”

“I live on the main square and they often stand in my driveway. They just go everywhere.”

The small village was used for several scenes in the hit show which ended ten years ago.

Even though it has been a decade since the last episode of the original series was aired tourists still flock to Bampton.

Locations including St Mary’s Church and the Manor House, home to Mrs Crawley in the show, can be found in the small village.

The main set for the historical drama, Highclere Castle, is forty miles away.

The tiny village has a population of just 2,500 and plays host to two coffee shops, a butcher, a deli, a charity shop, an art gallery, antique store and garden centre.

Residents claim that visitors spend most of their time and money in a few select locations, bringing no benefit to the rest of the town.

A resident told The Telegraph: “They contribute to the library, but apart from that they don’t have enough time.

“We are better off with individual travellers, with families in cars – not the buses. There’s so much more to Bampton than Downton Abbey.”

The Community Hub receives shedloads of support but according to locals the other shops and businesses are left to fend for themselves.
