Didn't even play for Spain this man
It's a shame but during that era Spain was so stacked.
Kinda wish he could've played for England but it was so toxic back then lol
Is this comparable to MBE?
I looked into this and it's the highest civil honour in Spainβ¦
it is the only Spanish civil honour that confers personal nobility, with the right to an individual coat of arms (with heraldic mantle and pavilion), an official style of address (Excellency), and full membership in nobiliary corporations
So much grander than an MBE, I would have thought.
Another fun fact I saw is that Jorginho is also the equivalent of a Knight in Italy, a Cavaliere Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana, or Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, the country's highest honour.
