Beckham, like England captain Terry after him was an adulterer. The current Englad side is chock full of backstabbing dirtballs, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Saint Stevie, Rooney. As people they are not a patch on the clean living, bingo loving side of 66. Maybe it is the media, maybe it is the cult of celebrity, maybe it is lust for money. Where is the honest everyman, committed to his wife and kids in the side that is a cut above? A great player, dedicated to his club, and humble?
Rose tinted glasses or the bar set too high? Tired of England, tired of hype, tired of failure.
