Emma Raducanu Receives MBE From King Charles; Here Are 15 Other Athletes to Receive British Honours

Emma Raducanu became one of the latest athletes to receive British honours on November 29th when she was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE). A ceremony was held at Windsor Castle, where she was awarded the honour by King Charles III for her excellence in the sport of tennis.

Raducanu saw her career take off in September 2021 when she won the US Open at just 18 years old. She defeated 19-year-old Leylah Fernandez in the final to become the first qualifier to ever win a Grand Slam title. She also became the first British woman to win a Grand Slam since Virginia Wade in 1977. 

At the time of her being made an MBE, Raducanu was just 20 years old – meaning she still has her entire career ahead of her. Since turning pro in 2018, she has a 93-44 singles record and her highest world ranking was No. 10 – which she achieved in July 2022. She’s currently ranked No. 76 in the world.

Every year, we see hundreds of prominent figures receive British honours for their contributions to their country and community. These people come from a wide range of backgrounds and careers – such as politicians, actors, athletes, and first responders. It’s a worthy accomplishment for anyone born in the UK.

Emma Raducanu is one of the latest athletes to receive British honours, but she’s not the first and certainly won’t be the last. Athletes from a wide range of sports receive British honours every single year – whether it be knighthood, damehood, CBE, OBE, MBE, or BEM. They each serve their own purpose. 

While we honor Raducanu for her incredible achievement – at just 20 years old, nonetheless – let’s take a look at some of the other notable athletes to receive British honours in years past. Our list will include athletes from a wide range of sports including football (soccer), cricket, tennis, sailing, boxing, and more! 

15. Pelé

Pelé wasn’t born in the United Kingdom, so he couldn’t receive an actual knighthood from the Queen. He did, however, receive an honorary knighthood from Her Majesty in 1997 for his dedication to humanitarian and environmental activism – he was an ambassador to the UN and was the Brazilian Ministry of Sport. 

Pelé is widely regarded as one of the greatest football (soccer) players of all-time. He scored 77 goals for Brazil’s national team between 1957 and 1971, helping them win three FIFA World Cups. He also scored more than 600 goals for Santos FC between 1956 and 1974. We will never see another player like Pelé. 

14. Dame Ellen MacArthur

In late-2004, Dame Ellen MacArthur began her quest to break the world solo record for sailing non-stop around the world. On February 7, 2005, she crossed the finish line and broke the record by more than 32 hours. She was immediately made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE). 

She’s one of the youngest people to ever receive the honour, doing so before turning 30 years old. In addition to becoming a Dame for her dedication to sailing, MacArthur was given the rank of Honorary Lieutenant Commander, Royal Naval Reserve. Her contribution to both sport and community are obvious. 

13. Sir Alastair Cook

Sir Alastair Cook has earned his right to be called a knight. As one of the greatest cricket players the country has ever seen, Cook was originally appointed an MBE in 2011. He was eventually promoted to a CBE five years later before finally being appointed a Knight Bachelor at the 2019 New Years Honours.

Cook represented England on the national side between 2006 and 2018 – he’s the country’s second most-capped player in cricket history and is a former captain. He’s the only English player to win 50 Test matches, has more Test centuries than any other English player, and holds a number of other records. 

12. Sir Mo Farah

Sir Mo Farah is one of the greatest long-distance runners of all-time. He won four gold medals at the Olympics and six gold medals at the World Championships, making him the most accomplished British track athlete and most decorated long distance runner ever. He shined at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics. 

Farah was honored by Queen Elizabeth for his services to athletics. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2013 before receiving his knighthood from Her Majesty as part of the 2017 New Years Honours. He was born in Somaliland, but was trafficked to London and forced to work.

11. Anthony Joshua OBE

Anthony Joshua is one of the greatest boxers of this generation, despite his recent struggles against Oleksandr Usyk. Joshua was 24-1 as of December 2020, but has lost his last two fights – both vs. Usyk. Nonetheless, he’s a two-time former unified world heavyweight champion and one of England’s finest. 

After winning an Olympic gold medal in 2012, Joshua was recognized as an Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE). Most recently, he was promoted to Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2018 by then-Prince, now-King Charles. He is four months removed from his last fight with nothing scheduled right now. 

10. Harry Kane MBE

Harry Kane is the current captain of England’s national football (soccer) team – he also plays for Tottenham Hotspur of the Premier League. He’s currently tied for the most international goals in England history and has the second-most goals in Tottenham history – if you didn’t know, he likes to score goals.

Kane was named a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2019 after leading England to the semifinals of the World Cup and winning the tournament’s golden boot. He was presented the honour by Prince William. England’s manager, Gareth Southgate, was made an OBE that same year.

9. Gareth Bale MBE

Gareth Bale is the current captain of Wales’ national football (soccer) team – he plays for Los Angeles FC of the MLS, but also has a history with Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid. Many experts would agree that he’s one of the best Welsh players of all-time and one of the best wingers in the world today. 

Bale was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) as part of Queen Elizabeth II’s Birthday Honours List in 2022. He was being honored for both his services in football and charity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bale donated €1 million to hospitals across his home country and in Spain. 

8. Rory McIlroy MBE

Rory McIlroy is currently the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world and has now held that title for 114 total weeks since turning pro in 2007. He has 35 professional wins under his belt, four major championships, and three FedEx Championships. He was born in Northern Ireland and represents his hometown well. 

McIlroy was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2012 after winning the 2011 US Open in record fashion – 16-under. “I am delighted to be named in the Queen’s New Year Honours list. It is quite humbling to be included in such a list of worthy recipients,” the 22-year-old said at the time.

7. David Beckham OBE

David Beckham is one of the most iconic and legendary footballers of his generation. He is widely known for winning titles in four different countries – including Spain, the US, France, and England. He scored 17 goals in 115 appearances for England’s national team between 1996 and 2009 – he was fun to watch. 

Beckham was recognized as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in November 2003 – one day after scoring a goal for Real Madrid in what became a signature free kick. “This is probably the best I’ve received so far. It’s an amazing day for me,” the footballer said of his accomplishment, at the time.

6. Marcus Rashford MBE

Marcus Rashford is a current forward for England’s national team and has been since 2016 – he also plays for Manchester United of the Premier League. In 51 international appearances for England, Rashford has scored 15 goals, but don’t worry, he still has a lot more to give at just 25 years old. 

Rashford was recognized as a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2021 for his dedication to helping vulnerable children during the COVID-19 pandemic – he was just 24 years old at the time. “Thank you for making the day so special for me and mum. Very proud,” he said, with his mother in attendance.

5. Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill

Jessica Ennis-Hill is a former track-and-field athlete who specialized in the 100m hurdles, heptathlon, and pentathlon.

In 2017, Ennis-Hill was recognized as a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) as part of the New Years Honours list. She will forever be remembered as the poster child for England athletics at the 2012 Olympics and was known for her competitiveness and unwillingness to quit. 

4. Dame Kelly Holmes

Kelly Holmes was a track-and-field athlete who specialized in middle-distance events – including the 600m, 800m, 1,000m, and 1,500m events. After winning a bronze medal for the 800m at the 2000 Olympics, Holmes won a gold medal in both the 800m and 1,500m at the ensuing 2004 Olympics. 

Holmes has been recognized as a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) since 2005 – the same year she retired from sport. She was also appointed Honorary Colonel of the Royal Armoured Corps Training Regiment in 2018 and is quite the accomplished motivational speaker today. 

3. Sir Alex Ferguson

Sir Alex Ferguson is one of the most iconic and legendary football (soccer) managers of all-time, best known for his time with Manchester United between 1986 and 2013. He won 38 trophies with the club and has more trophies than any other manager in football history. There’s no denying his legacy in the sport. 

In fact, his contributions to the sport have earned him numerous accolades with the Royal Family. He was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1985, a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1995, and a Knight Bachelor in 1999 as part of the Queen’s Birthday Honours List.

Murray was recognized as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2012 after winning his first Grand Slam title and Olympic gold medal. He was knighted by then-Prince, now-King Charles in 2016 following his third and most recent Grand Slam title and his second Olympic gold medal for Great Britain.

He currently races for Mercedes and has won seven World Drivers’ Championship titles since joining the league in 2007. He also has the most wins, poles, podiums, and so much more. 

Hamilton received his knighthood in 2021 after winning his seventh World Championship in 2020 – tying a record held by Michael Schumacher. He was originally made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2009 following his first World Championship win in 2008. Can he win his eighth title? 

Have Athletes Ever Refused British Honours?

Being made a knight, dame, CBE, OBE, MBE, or BEM is a major accomplishment in the United Kingdom, but not everyone nominated feels the same way. In fact, there have been a wide range of people to refuse their British honours – athletes included – due to personal, political, categorical, or historical reasons. 

For example, Howard Gayle refused his nomination for MBE because “it would be a betrayal to all the Africans who have lost their lives, or who suffered as a result of Empire.” Gayle was born in England, but was of African descent and felt his ‘ancestors would be turning in their graves’ if he accepted the MBE.

Two other athletes to refuse Royal or British honours include Richie McCaw, who refused a potential knighthood, and Peter Alliss, turned down an OBE nomination. Bill Woodfull refused a knighthood for cricket, but accepted a knighthood for teaching nearly 30 years after his first nomination in 1934.

20 of the Greatest British Athletes of All-Time

Sports have played a vital role in the history and culture of Great Britain, but have you ever wondered who the greatest British athletes of all-time might be? Believe it or not, it’s not an easy question to answer – especially considering the number of British athletes that have impressed us through the years.

If you largely focus on American sports, you’ll be surprised to learn that some of the most popular sports in the US aren’t as popular in Great Britain. For example, baseball and basketball are considered minor sports in Great Britain and, while ice hockey and American football are growing, they’re still fairly minor. 

With that said, some of the most popular sports among British fans include football (soccer), cricket, rugby, field hockey, tennis, track and field (known as ‘athletics’), snooker, boxing, and motor racing. This is important to keep in mind when trying to figure out who the greatest British athletes of all-time are.

Who Are the Greatest British Athletes of All-Time?

The greatest British athletes of all-time are often treated like royalty in Great Britain – both figuratively and literally. While many fans place them on a pedestal, much like American athletes in the United States, some of the more revered British athletes actually receive British honours from the active King or Queen.

With so much history to cover, it’s nearly impossible to narrow a list of greatest British athletes of all-time down to just 20. Not only that, but everyone is going to have their own opinions about who they think deserves to be on that list. With that said, it’s natural to leave a few worthy names off your top-20 all-time.

For example, there are a few names off the top of my head that won’t be featured on this list, but certainly deserve to be considered – such as Laura Kenny, Jason Kenny, Phil Taylor, Sarah Storey, Nicola Adams, Jonny Wilkinson, James Anderson, Kelly Holmes, Bradley Wiggins, and Adam Peaty. 

Without further ado, let’s take a look at 20 of the greatest British athletes of all-time – in no particular order. 

20. Sir Nick Faldo

He retired with 43 wins under his belt, including 30 on the European Tour and nine on the PGA Tour – six of which were major championships.

Faldo won the Masters Tournament three times – 1989, 1990, and 1996 – and The Open Championship three times – 1987, 1990, and 1992 – in his career.

He represented Great Britain for more than 10 years.

He’s a joy to watch!

When it comes to snooker, there are three major tournaments – known as the Triple Crown – a player can win. O’Sullivan has won each of those tournaments seven times for a total of 21 Triple Crown titles, which is unheard of in the sport.

Who Are Your Favorite British Athletes of All-Time?

Our list of the greatest British athletes of all-time wasn’t easy to create. There were a lot of names that we didn’t get to honor, despite being deserving of the distinction. To be honest, we could’ve had this list made up exclusively of football (soccer) athletes if we wanted to – that’s how many quality players there are. 

Nonetheless, we tried our best to include as many different sports as possible to ensure the entirety of British sports history was represented. Of course, we also understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone has their personal favorites that they’ve enjoyed watching or learning about.
