# After years in the running following his OBE in 2003, former England soccer captain and Manchester United star has now been honoured for his services to sport and charity when he was knighted by King Charles at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle. Sir David grew up in northeast London, earned 115 caps playing for England, with 59 of those as captain, and scored 17 goals for his country. He played in three World Cups – in 1998, 2002 and 2006 – and two Euros, in 2000 and 2004:
