If I remember rightly he was beaten to 'Goal of the season'

Think it was by the one scored by Trevor Sinclair for QPR - that overhead kick. It had to be pretty bloody special to beat Beckham's goal.

I do think he is/was a very good player for club and country despite his temper - just a shame about who he married.

        Because you might get 10 or 12 runs, plenty of them over a season - less to divide by. (n/m) (General Chat) - DrDublin, Jan 5, 23:23:25
