That 2nd Piece of News
He's already Sir David to Northern Ireland fans but David Healy's one step closer to that knighthood he so obviously deserves after receiving a well-deserved MBE for "services to football and the community" in the Queen's birthday honours list.
The timing of the award couldn't be more fitting as Healy is today hosting the 2008 David Healy Fitba Day, a free kids football coaching session in Cookstown which is, according to the IFA, the biggest event of its kind ever known to to take place in the British Isles.

The 28-year old Northern Ireland striker described the award as "an unbelievable honour."
"Goal-scoring records are there to be broken but when you are given something like the MBE you are always going to have it."

Well done Dave.
