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. |

Maybe it is for services to Rugby Union .... He's been putting people off terrestrial televised League coverage for years. |

Very knowledgeable, Ray. I enjoy his commentaries even today, though many think he is past his sell-by date. Well deserved.

Well deserved, never mind the commentary side ( will never please everyone there) yet an award for a fine unasumming man, who has given an much to the game in both codes.

Maybe not. French is far more worthy of a gong than the vast majority of those getting awards considering the efforts he has put in for sport (even though he is a terrible commentator). Far more worthy than say Mike Catt, a mediocre player notable mainly for not being able to rise to the level of a minor speed bump when facing Lomu. He is getting a similar award - why? |

Why do people think he is such a bad commentator? I actually enjoy listening to him.

He has a great knowledge and love for the sport let us all congratulate him and not mock, as a sport we dont get enough recognition , Mike Catt why? what has he done, achieved? we would all like to be payed for playing a sport, for me you have to go beyond that with charitable or voluntary work to deserve an award. Johnny Whiteley i believe got a MBE, should have been Sir Johnny Whiteley with the work he has put in over many a decade.
