Put a cap on this insult to England legends The Daily Mail

Since nothing is sacred when it comes to the promotion of Brand Beckham, another act of heresy was committed on Saturday as casually as boozy fans might blaspheme on their train home from Wembley.Old Goldenballs was tossed yet one more cap for a fag-end appearance lasting barely 10 minutes. Thereby, for the second international match running, the legend of a truly great England player was trampled underfoot by today’s stampeding obsession with tawdry celebrity. In Croatia last month, a brief outing as Theo Walcott’s substitute drew David Beckham level with the noble Billy Wright’s 105 caps.
