Will You Help Jimmy Armfield?

A large contingent of Blackpool F.C. supporters are attempting to petition the U.K. government to authorize Jimmy Armfield's knighthood. The former right back received the OBE (Order of the British Empire) in 2004 so he is clearly in line for his opportunity to be respectfully called 'Sir'.

Please do you part in these final hours and sign the petition for Armfield's knighthood at the Jimmy Armfield Petition.

For those of you unfamiliar with this tremendous man's work on the pitch, I only need to supply you with some key numbers.

• 627 games played - all competitions
• 500+ games played with Blackpool F.C.
• A decade as captain for The Seasiders
• 43 games for England
• 15 as captain

The man who was voted 1962's best right back in the World needs your help.

Sign Up before the end of April 23rd at the Jimmy Armfield Petition

Thank you.
