Bradley
also revealed how he was ready to turn down the honour of being knighted –
until he had a heart-to-heart with his hero Paul Weller.
When he
told Weller – nicknamed The Modfather – he was thinking of turning down the
honour because he had never seen himself as ‘a Sir’, the ex-Jam star talked him
round.
Wiggins
says: ‘He said, “It’s different for sport”. As soon as he said that, I thought
I’d better take it. I kind of had his blessing.’
But
although Wiggins heeded his hero’s advice, his castaway choices may raise a few
eyebrows – he doesn’t select any of Weller’s hits. Instead he chooses Reasons
To Be Cheerful by Ian Dury and I Am The Resurrection by The Stone Roses.
