Beckham reclaims England captaincy

David Beckham has been given back the captain’s armband for England’s friendly against Trinidad and Tobago in Port of Spain.

The 33-year-old midfielder had doubts over his international future since the last World Cup and even after winning a place back in the squad was then made to wait for his 100th cap when Fabio Capello took charge.

Capello has been looking at who his permanent captain will be and has given the armband to Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard, John Terry and will now give Beckham his 59th game as skipper.
