ROBERT PLANT 'Flattered And Embarrassed' After Being Named Football Club's New Vice President

August 17, 2009

U.K.'s Express & Star reports: Rock legend Robert Plant revealed how he was "flattered and embarrassed" after becoming Wolverhampton Wanderers' (professional football club representing the city of Wolverhampton, in the West Midlands region of England) new vice-president.

The 60-year-old former LED ZEPPELIN frontman received his honor from the club's owner-chairman Steve Morgan before Saturday's opening Premier League against West Ham.

"First of all, I'm flattered, but I'm embarrassed, to be honest," said Plant, who has watched Wolves for 55 years.

"There are so many other people who are so important and relevant to the club, especially the people I sit next to at Molineux in the Steve Bull Stand."
