"The former Three Lions captain played in the 1998, 2002 and 2006 editions of the tournament, experiencing some memorable highs and crushing lows. Who can forget Beckham's red card for kicking out at Argentina's Diego Simeone at France 98 - or his cathartic, match-winning penalty against the same opponents in Japan and Korea four years later?"
"Since retiring in 2013, Beckham has invested in League Two side Salford City and MLS club Inter Miami - and it is his role as president and co-owner of the latter that could help England in North America next summer. England booked their place at the World Cup with Tuesday's 5-0 win over Latvia, which sealed top spot in Group K and automatic qualification."
David Beckham played for England at the 1998, 2002 and 2006 World Cups, producing memorable moments including a 1998 red card and a match-winning penalty against Argentina in 2002. Beckham is ranked No.5 on FourFourTwo's list of best English midfielders but never progressed beyond quarter-finals with England. Since retiring in 2013 he has invested in Salford City and co-owns Inter Miami. Beckham's role as Inter Miami president and co-owner could offer England a warm-weather training base in North America ahead of the 2026 World Cup. England secured qualification by topping Group K with a 5-0 win over Latvia.
