Beckham aims to equal Shilton's record of 125 caps

Tuesday, November 10, 2009, 16:20 [IST]

London, Nov 10(ANI): England midfielder David Beckham will equal former goalkeeper Peter Shilton's record of 125 caps if England reach the World Cup final or the third-place play-off.

In order to equal Shilton, Beckham must play in all three remaining England friendlies after Saturday's game against Brazil in Qatar, which he will miss due to his Los Angeles Galaxy commitments.

Beckham will also have to hope that England reach the semi-finals of the World Cup finals, and that he plays in every game.

Beckham, currently on 115 caps, will have played in seven games at the tournament - three in the group stages, the first knockout round, quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final or third and fourth-placed play-off. (ANI)
