Former England captain David Beckham was presented with a legacy cap by current skipper Harry Kane in recognition of his 115 international appearances before England's FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final victory over Norway.
The presentation took place at Inter Miami's training complex in Fort Lauderdale, where England held their final training session ahead of a 2-1 win over Norway, which helped them to reach the semi-final. Beckham, who is co-owner of the Major League Soccer club, welcomed head coach Thomas Tuchel, Kane and the rest of the England squad to the state-of-the-art facility. Beckham represented England 115 times over a 13-year international career, featuring in five major tournaments and serving as captain of the national team. https://x.com/England/status/2076358758997934352?s=20 In a special moment during the visit, Kane presented Beckham with his legacy cap in recognition of his contribution to English football. Kane, who surpassed Beckham's tally of England appearances during the ongoing FIFA World Cup, is now among the country's most-capped players. Only Peter Shilton and Wayne Rooney have represented England more times than Beckham. Beckham and Kane also share roots in Chingford, East London. Both attended Chingford Foundation School and began their football journeys with local club Ridgeway Rovers before going on to captain the England national team. England went on to defeat Norway 2-1 in the quarter-finals to book their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-finals. (ANI)
