Former England manager Gareth Southgate received a knighthood at Windsor Castle on Wednesday for services to football. Southgate is the seventh football manager to be knighted, joining the likes of Sir Alf Ramsey, Sir Matt Busby, Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Bobby Robson, Sir Kenny Dalglish, and Sir Walter Winterbottom. Despite not winning a trophy during his managerial career, Southgate's tenure with England is considered significant due to his influence on the team and the game. Despite falling short in major tournaments, Southgate restored the image of the England squad and made the team popular again. Southgate's knighthood is a testament to his exemplary service to England and the Football Association.
