David Beckham insists he is happy to play a bit-part role for England despite becoming his country's most capped outfield player. Beckham passed Bobby Moore's previous record of 108 caps when he came on as a half-time substitute in Saturday's 4-0 friendly win over Slovakia.
On his 109th appearance in an England shirt, Beckham proved his continued worth to the side, setting up Wayne Rooney with a cross for England's second goal. Beckham's impressive cameo will have given coach Fabio Capello food for thought as the Italian prepares to pick his team to face Ukraine in Wednesday's 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ qualifier.
A win for England would cement their position on top of European qualifying group 6 and keep Capello's team firmly on course to qualify for next year's FIFA World Cup. Capello started the Slovakia match with Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon on the right flank and his pace caused Slovakia problems at times.
