Categorised under the topic of Sports.

That this House recognises the outstanding contribution to football made by the members of England's 1966 World Cup-winning team; notes the honours given to Sir Bobby Charlton and Sir Geoff Hurst; calls for the remaining members of that team to be honoured with knighthoods; believes this to be a fitting way to commemorate the 50th anniversary of England's greatest footballing achievement; and congratulates the Sunday Mirror on that newspaper's Knight the Lions campaign, calling for all the 1966 players to finally get the recognition they deserve.

This motion has been signed by a total of 3 MPs.
