Another Guyana KNIGHT !

https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/cricket...22131.html

West Indies cricket legend Clive Lloyd has been given a knighthood in the New Year Honours List.

The 75-year-old heads a long list names from West Indies cricket to receive the award

with the likes of Sir Gary Sobers, Sir Everton Weekes and Sir Viv Richards

all honoured.

Although Lloyd received a CBE in 1993

the belated nature of Lloyd's award might be explained by his hailing from Guyana

which became a republic in 1966

coincidentally the year in which Lloyd made his Test debut.

ketchim note : Guyana became a co-operative Republic in February 1970

Independence was May 26, 1966

He led the West Indies in 70 Tests of which they won 36.

He also led them to two World Cup wins in 1975 and 1979

and was the first West Indies player to achieve 100 international caps.
