Lou Macari's name is nowhere to be seen on the New Year Honours List, which is a glaring oversight.
The Manchester United legend's crusade to eradicate homelessness from the streets of Stoke-on-Trent is far worthier than some of the gongs and peerages handed out to acolytes and accomplices of ruin under a hideous government.
Fifty years ago next month, Macari signed for United and contributed 97 goals in 401 appearances to the cause, including the 1977 FA Cup final winner which denied Liverpool the Treble (later credited to Jimmy Greenhoff). He came from Celtic's famed Quality Street Gang, where Sir Kenny Dalglish, Danny McGrain and David Hay were primed for greatness.
