CAN BECKS BEAT SHILTS?

WITH DAVID BECKHAM very prominent at the World Cup draw, William Hill offering odds of 5/1 that he will break Peter Shilton’s all time record number of caps.’If he is to have the slightest chance of overtaking Shilts, Beckham needs to get to win one or two of the great keeper during the World Cup or he’ll have too much to do and too little time left to do it in’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills MAKE BECKHAM 13/8 TO START ONE OR MORE WORLD CUP GAMES, 4/9 NOT TO.
