England rugby legend Jonny Wilkinson will reportedly receive a knighthood in the Queen's New Year Honours list next week.

England legend Jonny Wilkinson will be knighted as part of the Queen's New Year Honours, according to a report.

The 35-year-old scored the drop goal that guided England to their World Cup final win over Australia in 2003, and his performances throughout his 17-year career sealed his place as one of English rugby's finest-ever players.

A source told The Mirror: "Jonny is one of Britain's greatest ever sportsmen. He has always represented England with distinction. He is a hero and a shining example to millions around the world. He thoroughly deserves this."

Wilkinson retired from rugby earlier this year after leading Toulon to their Heineken Cup final win over Saracens.
