David Beckham has admitted it was ‘very special’ to equal Bobby Moore’s England appearance record for an outfield player. During the 2-0 defeat by Spain Beckham came off the bench at half time to win his 108th cap and draw level with the legendary defender.

Only goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who made 125 appearances for England, has won more caps than Beckham and Moore and the former Manchester United midfielder is eager to prolong his career.

Beckham spoke out saying: “I never thought I would make 96 or 97, so to be on 108 now is something very special to me. I’ll take each game and each cap as it comes. This squad is growing and getting better and it’s good to be part of it.”

Beckham is currently on loan with AC Milan from Los Angeles Galaxy and believes his fitness and career has benefited from the move to the San Siro and he feels that staying in Italy will help him remain in Fabio Capello’s plans.

He spoke out saying: “Fitness-wise, it has done me the world of good. I’m a lot fitter than I was a few months back, even in the month-and-a-half that I’ve been there my fitness has gone up 100 per cent. I’m enjoying my football at AC Milan and hopefully I can stay there.”
