| His commentaries are open to MUCH debate.
But as for his commitment to the game...he bows to no-one.
Congratulations Ray. You deserve the honour. Today we bow to you.

| If Ray French could pass on his knowledge and love of the game in his commentary, without sounding like a Northern stereotype, he'd be awesome.
Still, a well deserved award. Enjoy your trip to the palace, Ray.

| Congratulations to Ray and also congratulations to Dave Smith, ex-Workington Town player and father of ex-Town player Brett Smith (coach of Maryport ARLFC), who has been awarded the MBE for his work with the Rising Son charity which he founded to help drug addicts following the death of his son from an overdose.

I do hope the implication there isn't that the only reason Ray French received an MBE is because he played Union for England 50 years ago Admiral?
Bit of a cheap shot at everything Ray has done with his life and career since then if it is.
