England captain
Although a winner in United fans’ eyes Beckham was still booed and jeered by England supporters for his red card in 1998.
It came to its peak at Euro 2000 when despite setting up two goals the midfielder was constantly abused by the crowd – with his reaction being a middle finger.
Beckham’s commitment to his country was rewarded on 15 November 2000 when he was named Three Lions captain for the first time, a position he would hold for six years and 58 games.
