LONDON — Not for the first or last time David Beckham will dominate the sports pages over the coming week.

Beckham will equal Bobby Moore's 108-cap England record for an outfield player if he plays against Spain in Seville next Wednesday.

As Beckham is fit, playing well and scoring goals for AC Milan halfway through his loan period from the Los Angeles Galaxy, it seems a formality that the midfielder will not only equal Moore's record, but overtake the late England captain next month when England plays Slovakia.
