Referee Howard Webb gets MBE
MANCHESTER,ENGLAND
World Cup Final referee Howard Webb has been recognised by Queen Elizabeth II in the New Years Honours list for his selfless and dedicated work to Manchester United. The police sergeant from Rotherham has been known to do everything in his power for Englands biggest club,including sending opposing players off for unknown reasons,and most famously for giving an inexplicable penalty when 2-0 down against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford two years ago. "He,s done so much for us," admitted Sir Bobby Charlton."That penalty against Spurs turned the game for us and undoubtedly won us the the league that year.It,s his almost magical ability to conjure a United goal out of nothing that really sets him apart from other referees. He,s been our twelfth man on so many occasions so he really deserves his MBE.I could,nt think of anyone who deserves it more than our Howard.theres no doubt that he,ll go down as an Old Trafford legend with Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex". Sir Alex Ferguson was full of praise for Webb,and said he fully deserved his place on the New Years Honours list."He,s one of the best players we,ve had in recent years. Christiano Ronaldo was our top scorer that year,but no one was more valuable to the side than Webby.He was worth at least 20 points for us.A lot of people thought that we,d miss Christiano when he left for Real Madrid but people seem to somehow forget that we always had the referee on our side,so it made no difference," Now that Mr Webb has been recognised by the Queen,fans have called for the club to do the same,perhaps having a testimonial in his name. "I,m not against the idea myself," said a fans representative,"but i think we could do so much more for such a faithfull servant.Some people think that we should rename the Stretford End after Webby but i still dont think it,s enough. I think a statue for him beside the one of Sir Matt,or maybe alongside the one of Bestie,Law and charlton.Thats where he belongs." |
