Terry backs Beckham captaincy

22 mei 2006, 17:40

David Beckham has been backed to remain as England captain after the World Cup - by one of the men earmarked to take over from him.

John Terry has been suggested a possible successor to Beckham, but the Chelsea skipper believes players are still learning from the Real Madrid midfielder. Beckham will lead England at the World Cup next month but his tenure as captain has been questioned, particularly as his close relationship with boss Sven-Goran Eriksson will come to an end when the Swede stands down after the tournament.

"It's absolutely ridiculous, so many times you see it on the papers: should he be England captain?" Terry said in a documentary on ITV1 called David Beckham: A Footballer's Story. "We've got the right man in charge, whether it be for another four or five years, he's certainly the man and an example to other players and we certainly learn from him."
