No loyalty there (From York Press)

No loyalty there

9:53am Tuesday 7th February 2012 in Letters

DAVID Beckham recently revealed his desire to be the captain of the England 2012 Olympic football team. Without doubt he’s a talented football and media icon. But does he deserve this?

We must remember that he left England’s football behind for even bigger riches in Madrid. From here he then moved to Los Angeles where he earns in a single week what many of us earn in a lifetime.

He hasn’t lived, worked or paid tax here for many years, so where’s his loyalty to England?
