Petition for former Southampton footballer Francis Benali to get an OBE
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Franny has done so much fundraising for Cancer Research, and is doing 7 Ironmans in 7 days. He is hoping to raise 1 million pounds for Cancer Research. This man is an absolute legend, always thinking of others, but shuns publicity, so an OBE would be a fitting reward for his efforts.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We can't accept your petition because it asks for someone to be nominated for an honour.
Members of the public can nominate people for honours directly. You can find out how to nominate someone for an honour here:
