Don’t get us kicked out, pleads Becks

DAVID BECKHAM stared down England’s hooligan minority and declared: “You have been warned.”

Although the England skipper has now left his international team-mates as they prepare for tonight’s encounter with Serbia and Montenegro, he addressed the nation on their behalf as he faced up to the possibility of being booted out of Europe.

Having been fined £70,000 for the behaviour of England fans during April’s win over Turkey in Sunderland, the Football Association have been left in little doubt by UEFA that any repeat will see them expelled from the competition.
