SAD FOR DAVID BECKHAM AND ENGLAND

So sorry  that David Beckham has snapped his achilles tendon in his left ankle.As I write my blog he has just arrived in Finland for surgery.They have a cutting edge in this department.It just went in AC Milan's 1-0 home win over Chievo  yesterday (Sunday).I am sure he will miss the World Cup and at 34,despite his fitness,there has to be a big doubt about whether he can just pick up his playing career at top level.South Africa would have been Becks 4th World Cup finals.Now he faces the strong possibility of not playing for England again.What a shame for the squad,for the football fans and for himself.The wonderful ovation he received from the Old Trafford supporters when he came on for AC against his old club last week spoke volumes about his popularity.He is a truly International star around the world.
