Happy Birthday mam (or marm) as we were told at Charterhouse when her Royal Highness and Phil visited the school as part of her patron's duties. I worked there for 40 years and we had the one visit, although prior to taht she had visited in the 1970s. On both occasions she came to open new buildings (no, she is not a janitor). Mrs Bailey was privileged to be chosen as one of the staff members to meet her so she had to get her "marms" right and courtsey.
So to help celebrate the occasion there are the Birthday Honours and I have been overlooked again. Hmm! But these haven't:
Rachel Anderson-first FIFA recognised football agent-services to equality. MBE
Marieanne Spacey-English Ladies Footbasll Assitant manager. MBE
Emma Hayes-Chelsea Ladies-MBE
Steve Gibson-Middlesbrougth FC and local industry and business. OBE
Alan Shearer-Football punditry and his Foundation. CBE

Anna Kessel-Sports' journalist and co-founder Women in Football. MBE
And finally, another great footballing legend Rod Stewart at 71, with 6 kids from two marriages, is awarded a Knighthood which he will wear well!
Rod is an very keen Celtic fan and Scot of course and has just moved from Wood House (once lived in by Winston Churchill) where Rod had a grass football pitch on site, to a new pad Durrington House in Essex, where he has got permission to build an astro pitch so long as it doesn't have floodlights. Rod is not up to playing now that his knees have "gone" but he does host matches for mates and enjoys the banter. No doubt his six kids will bring their mates round for a 6 a side.
