Beckham: England team full of potential captains

DAVID BECKHAM believes Fabio Capello faces a difficult choice in deciding who will be his long-term England captain, and insisted: "We've got players throughout the team who could do the job."

Capello has given the armband to Steven Gerrard, Rio Ferdinand and John Terry during his three matches at the helm and is likely to make another change for Sunday's friendly away to Trinidad and Tobago.

Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry is a strong contender to take on the mantle in the Caribbean before Capello decides who will lead the side for the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign. Beckham said: "I think Rio Ferdinand has done a great job, Stevie G (Gerrard) has done a great job and obviously JT (Terry). They are all quality captains and all have got the chance of being a captain.

"The players are learning the manager is very strict and very serious and when you train, you train hard, and when you play, you play hard and when you are with the England team, you concentrate and wear that shirt with pride.

"The players know what he wants and are trying to make him happy and at the moment we are working hard and winning games.

"There is still a lot to learn and a lot of hard work to do but we are happy at the moment."
