Godfather Of Champions

The media is full of news about Dunn's return to victory, and no one is tired of it. Whether it is a person who likes him or a person who hates him, there is no way to deny this-he cannot be ignored.

Putting all the beautiful words invented by mankind since human beings had written words on Dun En is one of the things that media reporters like most these days. Now Dun En's popularity is booming. Only by saying his kind words can he attract more readers and audiences.

Complementing it is another thing. After entering December, the British royal family issued an announcement, which announced the list of persons who will be honored by the Queen on January 1 next year. Tony Dunn's name is impressively listed.

In the United Kingdom, there are two awards of honors each year, once on January 1st at the beginning of each year, and once on the Queen’s birthday. In recognition of those who have made outstanding contributions to the UK in various fields such as culture, sports, and economy, the Knight Medal is awarded. Many people in the football world have been awarded honors, which is not a great thing.

However, around Dun En, there has always been a dispute about whether he should accept the award. In fact, after Dunn led Nottingham Forest to win the triple crown, someone suggested that Tony Dunn should be awarded honors to recognize his outstanding contribution. We must know that the old Scottish man Ferguson was awarded the Knight's Medal by the Queen after leading Manchester United to the Triple Crown. As the most successful man in England, how could Dunn not be awarded?

But this proposal was opposed by many people at the time. The reason for objection is absurd-opponents believe that the Triple Crown is not enough for Dunn to be awarded the Knight Medal. In fact, this is simply an excuse. Ferguson was also awarded the Knight Medal after he led the team to win the Triple Crown. Why didn't he achieve enough in Dunn? In fact, the real reason is not that Dunn’s achievements are not enough to be honored, but because he hates his character and that stinky mouth. Many people think that if the Knight Medal is awarded to such an unabashed figure, it is indeed Damage to the state...

This sounded inexplicable, but at the time it was supported by many people. Even the then Minister of Sports and the Prime Minister himself. This shows how bad Tony Dunn’s popularity is in this country.

Fortunately, Dunn himself is not interested in awarding honors. He leads the national team and never sings the national anthem. What is an award? So the debate about whether he is eligible to accept the title of "Jazz" continues, but he himself turns a deaf ear. After being awarded the Knight Medal and the title of Jazz, he can't make more money, nor can he fully recover from his heart disease overnight. That kind of fame has it, and it doesn't.

Later, he led the England team to win the first European Cup in national history, and the awarding of honors was once again brought up by the media. Supporters think that the champion who made history is always eligible for Dunn to be honored, right? No, the opponents did not say that his achievements were too low this time, but directly said that Dunn's speech and behavior did not conform to the code of conduct of a British Empire knight. Don't Tony Dunn despise authority? Then there is no need for us to award him the medal of authority...

The opposition is still strong, and Dunn himself didn't fight for it, so this matter has turned into a shame.

But Dunn's supporters were not reconciled. They even set up a group called "Tang En Knights" to call for the honor of Dun En, which appeared in the public from time to time, and shouted that Dun En should be honored.

After the 2018 World Cup, things finally turned around.

"If a person leads the club to almost all the championships that the club team can get, and then leads the national team to the highest honor of all national team levels, and he cannot be awarded the Knight Medal by the Queen, then this must be one of the British Empire. Big scandal!" It was not a certain media who said this, but a member of the British Parliament.

This sentence opened the prelude to the third call for action for Don En.

Three European Champions Cups, three Premier League championship trophies, one English League Cup, one FA Cup, two Community Shield Cup trophies, two European Super Cups, one World Club Cup, one European Cup, and one Federation Cup, a World Cup.

The Notting Evening Post even published a special issue, which published photos of all the honors Dunn received, and then questioned those opponents: "If these honors and contributions can't allow Tony Dunn to be awarded the Jazz Title, then do you think how many people in the UK are eligible to be honored?"

The Times also published a social review stating that in today’s British society, the Lord of Honor is getting more and more depreciated, and the gold content is getting lower and lower. Originally, there is only the use of honor incentives. After a large number of bans every year, even this is the most basic The intentions are becoming rarer. Even someone who donates a large amount of money to the government can get a knight medal. Such a person can get a knighthood or a knight medal, which can only reduce the prestige of the British royal family and eventually become nothing. In this context, it is a great irony and sorrow that some people who have truly made outstanding contributions to the government and the country cannot be knighted for one reason or another.

Although Dunn's name is not mentioned throughout the editorial, fools can see that they are on Dunn's side. Because this year, if you talk about outstanding contributions, you will definitely not be able to escape Dunn. After he led the team to win the World Cup in Australia, he not only greatly encouraged the confidence of the British people, but also greatly enhanced the reputation of the United Kingdom and even stimulated the economic development of the United Kingdom. Such an achievement is controversial even for being awarded, which really makes people feel inexplicable.

Some even wrote to the queen, begging her to honor Tang En.

It was with the efforts of these people that Dunn's name appeared on the list of honorees, and it is said that the Queen personally decided.

But Dunn didn't mean to appreciate...

※※※

As early as after the first offer of honors was rejected, Dunn knew that many people at the top of this country did not like him. But he has never liked this country. As a traditional Chinese mainlander who "resident" in the British body, he is not interested in such things as honoring, nor has he thought of enthusiastically fighting for this right for himself.

The refusal of the second honorary award further strengthened Dunn's disdain for the royal family and his contempt for the so-called Lord of Honor. In the last century, this lord may have been a bit attractive, but now it has become that any cat or dog can be awarded, so why do you need to be shy? Dunn has never been a person who likes to join in the fun.

This is the third time...His supporters finally put him on the award list, but he is totally indifferent to this farce.

"Do I have to call you Uncle Sir from now on?" Shania took the list published in the newspaper and teased her husband.

Dunn shrugged and gave her an unexpected answer: "You won't have such a chance, dear."

"Huh?" Shania didn't understand what her husband meant.

"I intend to refuse the award."

"Ah..." Shania opened her mouth, surprised.

"Isn't this something surprising?" Dunn's reaction to Shania was interesting. "In history, more than 300 people have rejected the Queen's award. I'm just one of them."

"I just don't know why." Shania pouted.

"If I was awarded the Knight Medal the first time I was awarded the medal, maybe I would be happy to accept it in front of the Queen, treating it as an honor like a championship trophy. But now my mindset is different. Now this medal It's not honor for me, but charity. I don't want it." Dunn pointed to the list in Shania's hand and said with disdain.

Shania looked at Dunn and laughed. She is not British, and naturally she would not look at this issue from the perspective of British national honor. Anyway, in the final analysis, it's just a "jazz" title. Since the husband says no, then don't.

"It's the medal for you anyway. It's up to you." Shania threw aside the newspaper, leaned forward and hooked her hands around Dun En's neck, looked at him affectionately with her eyes, and then put her body on it. Gently rubbed against En's chest. "Honey, I want to..."

When Pierce Bruce received the so-called "open letter" email from Dunn, he was taken aback. Then immediately called Dun En.

"Tony, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Dunn didn't seem to wake up yet, and a question came from his nose.

"I mean the refusal to award honors...what do you think?" Bruce held the "open letter" that was just printed in his hand, shaking as he spoke, making a rattling noise.

"What do you think? I'm not interested in this kind of bad street knight medal, it's that simple, Pierce." Dunn got up from the bed, he turned to look at his wife who was still sleeping on the bed, and covered her with the quilt. He walked out in his pajamas.

It was very cold in the early morning in December, and when I walked to the terrace, the oncoming cold wind made Dun En sleepless.

"Rotten Street? Tony... don't you know the significance of awarding honors?" Bruce thought it must be because of Dunn's nonsense that he hadn't woken up yet.

"It might make sense twenty years ago, Pierce. But now, it really doesn't make sense. The owner of a fast-food chain can be awarded the Knight's Medal. I think in a few years, I am afraid that even newborn babies can be booked every year? There are two thousand places, how many people in the UK have not been awarded this stuff? Besides... I am grateful for your continued efforts to get me to be honored. But this kind of charity The honor of taste, I don’t want it. I’m not someone who can’t live without the Knight Medal and the Jazz title? You said I won so many championships, do I still care about a small jazz title?"

"Uh..." Bruce was speechless when Dunn asked. He knew that Dunn was a rebellious person, and this did not change with his age, but he did not expect Dunn’s rebelliousness would be used on the British royal family...

"Don't you feel a pity, Tony..." Bruce asked unwillingly.

"What's a pity? It's called'Sir Dunn' at best. I don't think people who didn't respect me before will respect me just because I changed my title. I don't think that people who liked me before will respect me. People don’t like me because I haven’t become a jazz. I’m still me, I’m Tony Dunn." Dunn looked far to the east, and a round of sunrise was rising, and the sky and horizon of the east were reflected red by the sky and the horizon. The fog rises and rolls in the forest, like a fairyland.

At this point, what can Bruce have to say? Dunn is right, he is him, he is Tony Dunn, so no one can change the decision he made. Even if he wants to fight the world, all you can do is choose to stand with him or fight him.

"You must make the royal family feel very shameless..." Bruce murmured.

"This is what you want, haha!" Dunn laughed loudly with one hand on his hips. "Some people do everything they can to do not want me to be a jazz. Now they see this as a charity to me. I want to tell them: Let your self-righteous pride go to hell!"

Putting down the phone, Bruce looked at the open letter in his hand and sighed. He remembered a past event.

Before Dunn, Nottingham Forest also had a controversial head coach Brian Clough. Although he led the Forest team to two Champions Leagues and achieved remarkable results, he was also not knighted by the royal family. There are rumors that it was Clough himself who refused the royal family's invitation to award honors. Others said that the government was uncomfortable with the rebellious old man at the time. But in any case, when Clough died, when people again proposed to award him an order, they gave up because the ordering rules did not allow the Knights Medal and the Honorable Lord to be awarded to a dead person. In this way, Clough missed out on behalf of the highest honor award among British civilians.

And fifteen years later, Tony Dunn, also the head coach of Nottingham Forest, also rejected the royal family's award. Was it God's will?

Thinking further, nearly a thousand years ago, a rebellious and scornful thief appeared on this land. He led his partners to fight against the noble lords at the time, rob the rich and help the poor, and Wuthering Mountains. So free.

Maybe this place is dedicated to this kind of character...

Whether it's Robin Hood, Clough, or Dunn now, they are all "robbers" who don't accept discipline, dare to challenge authority, and advocate freedom.

No matter what the outside world thinks of them, the dense Sherwood Forest will always carry their legends. They are the heroes here.

A day later, this open letter written by Dunn himself was sent to the "Nottingham Evening Post" and immediately caused a sensation.

In the letter, Dunn thanked the British royal family and those friends who rushed to appeal for the award, but he made it clear that he would reject this award. As for the reason for refusal, he did not say that the gold content and authority of the current Lord of Honor has become lower and lower, even though this is known to even children. His reasons are much stronger than this.

"...I know there are many people who don't want me to be awarded. They think I am unworthy and I don't want to comment on it. I just want to say that I didn't want to get any knight medals from the beginning-you have Who sees me come forward and say a word for myself in previous controversies? No, because I don’t want it at all. Are you disappointed by those who oppose me? Of course I want to thank those who called for me to run. Friends, but I don’t want to go against my truest thoughts—I don’t want to be called "Sir Dunn", and I don’t want to sacrifice myself and make myself look like a beggar who has been alms to satisfy others. It’s me, I’m Tony Dunn. Compared with a small knight medal, I have a better reward-15 years of coaching career, 16 championship trophies. I don’t need to rely on the Lord of Honor to show it. My own values ​​and those glory. In front of these will be met, everyone will agree that I am England... No, the best football coach in the UK and the world.

For the above reasons, I refuse to award honors. "

Although many people have rejected the honors of the British royal family for various reasons, it is the first time for him to be as arrogant as Dunn. His declaration on this letter was loud and loud, and it had a huge response throughout Britain.

Once again, people saw his unrestrainedness.

The Sun subsequently commented:

"... After his comeback, he did not respond to the doubts from many media. After losing the first game, he did not slap those who laughed at him. These make us think that he is fifty years old. Tony Dunn is already old, he has lost his sharpest teeth and claws, and he is meekly like a cat.

But we were wrong. He just didn't meet an opponent worthy of his own shot.

Now, the British royal family, this opponent is well-known and qualified enough to be his opponent. So we met the familiar Tony Dunn, the guy who was habitually doing the right thing with the world. "

"Genius is always different from ordinary people." Lineker, Alan Hansen and Mark Laurensen said this when they talked about it on a TV show. "I admit that the attractiveness of the current Lord of Honor to the public is declining year by year, but there are still many people who hope to get such a reward every year, and the quota of two thousand people is still not enough. Under such circumstances, Dunn gave up The method of this honor is incomprehensible. But for him, he cannot be understood by ordinary people's thinking. After this incident, the most relevant comments I hear are'why','why did he refuse? Write such an open letter about playing arrogantly "Why would he refuse so high-profile"... a lot of "why". In my opinion, asking Dunn "why" is very stupid. He never needs a reason to do things. If you must find a reason, then I can only say that he is in a bad mood, or in a very good mood..."

"Nottingham Evening Post" even gave Dunn the title of "Uncrowned King": "...Although I personally regret that Dunn cannot be called "Sir Dunn", I told Dunn himself. The same: 15 years of coaching career, 16 championship trophies in important competitions, Dunn no longer needs to use a knight medal to commend his glory. He is a well-deserved'uncrowned king'!"

PS, although Dunn did not become a jazz, it is a bit regretful. But as a person with Dun En's personality, it would be wrong if he honestly accepted the award. Very people naturally have very human behavior and temper. The most individual and successful head coach in England history told mortals a truth with his practical actions:

I am me, I am Tony Dunn.

He doesn’t need anyone’s recognition or any form of proof, because he has already proven himself

A mortal is still obsessed with that kind of false name, but he has already stepped over the mountain of false names. This is the temperament that a king who has experienced wind, rain and rainbow should have. I am very happy that the character of Tony Dunn is getting fuller and more real in my writing.
