Beckham proud to equal Moore's England caps record

LA Galaxy and AC Milan star David Beckham was delighted to equal Bobby Moore's England caps record in last night's defeat in Spain.

"I think I've always said it's an honour to be up there with the likes of Sir Bobby Charlton and Bobby Moore, but the more important thing is the game and we lost tonight, so I'm disappointed," he told ITV1.

"But of course I'm honoured. I've always worked hard at my game and it's what I enjoy doing, and I've had some great managers along the way.

"I'm enjoying my football and I hope it continues."

Beckham admitted Spain deserved their win.

"They're always going to bring pressure and keep the ball well," he added. "They got two good goals, and overall maybe they deserved the win, but we'll move on."

Charlton, who won 106 caps for England, paid tribute to Beckham's feat.

"With David Beckham it's generally down to the fact that he's a really fit player and his attitude to the game has always been first class," he told ITV1.

"It's a marvellous achievement."
