Two thoughts:
1) How does one turn down such an honor without the equivalent of slapping folks in the face?
2) Why would one turn the honor down in the first place when the club and the fans want it for him? After all, it's their judgment that counts.
I am leery of the humility thing other than as a manifestation of shyness. That I can understand.
(When I retired, I mandated no party, in favor of quiet goodbyes, for much the same reason.
This was much to the dismay of the party hounds.)
Failing that, however, I wonder what else could be the real reason.
