Red card v Argentina
After progressing to the last-16 stage of the ’98 World Cup Beckham was involved in an incident that would see him vilified by England fans.
Following a poor challenge from Argentinian midfielder Diego Simone the floored Three Lion flicked out a leg at his opponent.
A theatrical fall was proceeded by a red card and an exit on penalties for England – the young Beckham was unfairly shouldered with the blame by the relentless British media.
