As the Media never tires of telling us, last night's Spain v England game marked David Beckham's 108th cap, equalling the number won by the late Bobby Moore.
But David, the number of caps is that only thing that compares you to England's greatest ever Captain. Sir Bobby won the world cup, he was compared favourably with the very best who have ever played the game, and not just by the tabloid press. He was a Gentleman and a role model, not the plaything of a deranged ex-singer and supposed multiple shagger of the hired help.
Finally, although Beckham is a very good player, he may well be remebered better for being a 'Celebrity', half of 'Posh and Becks' and will see out his twilight years in the rather tacky decadence that his wife prefers. He won't be reduced to selling anoracks from the back of his car in the Upton Park car park, or writting a column in the Daily Sport as Bobby Moore was.
We shall always remember him, no matter how shabbily the football world treated him after he stopped playing, and if you want to do the right thing by England's only World Cup winning Captain, click the link over there >>> and bung a few quid to the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research.
