I have met Jimmy Armfield several times and I am always astounded how much passion and energy he still puts in to community and charitable projects. He is already a legend and to be knighted would be just a fraction of what this man deserves.
a legend of the game and his record speaks for its self. he be knighted and this is coming from a preston fan
Deserves it for humility, charity work and beating cancer alone, before you even reach his achievements in football
Possibly the last of the North West one club man living ' greats'. Respectable, honest, trustworthy and a fantastic footballer to boot. An honour for all BFC fans to have him associated with our Club. It will be a proud day when his unofficial knighthood is made official. UTMP
A superb true ambassador to both club and country. A one club captain, and captain of England who has served 'Football' with humility, loyalty and generosity.
Long overdue. Arise Sir Jimmy! xx
My dad knew Jimmy really well and he always asks after me. A true gentleman who appears to be Blackpool through and through. Do not forget Ann, his wife, a dedicated nurse and supporter.

Undersung Hero of the community, not indifferent to the late Sir Tom Finney. Much respected by all.
