    I'm not happy with the Martin Keown one, he was a Captain for one game or something, Shearer was the England Captain before Beckham, same as John Terry is the Captain now.

    Aye, I had Shearer also. Thought the question meant proper captains and not cameos. Sure for all we know Keown could have been subbed and handed it to someone else if thats the case!

    I think Dub13 needs a recount as I got 5 correct which should 10pts at two a piece.

    The question asked who the last captain was before Beckham. I would take it to me the last person to wear the armband.

    Perfectly legit question.
