David Beckham
became England's most
capped outfield player when he
made his 109th international
appearance in Saturday's
friendly against Slovakia. He
came on as a half-time
substitute at Wembley to
surpass the previous record
of 108 caps he shared with
Bobby Moore.
Beckham, who
became England's second-most
capped player in the process,
marked his achievement by
setting up Wayne Rooney for
England's second goal. Only
goalkeeper Peter Shilton, with
125, has made more England
appearances.
"Obviously it is a very
special occasion for myself,
to reach this amount of caps
and to be up there just above
Bobby Moore,"
Beckham, who
replaced Aaron Lennon, told
BBC Radio 5 Live
