David Beckham has been ordered to remain on the sidelines for six weeks after suffering a knee injury during a soccer match Sunday night in Spain. After the injury, Beckham, 31, tried to play on but limped off in the 63rd minute. He was later diagnosed as damaging the lateral internal ligament of his right leg.

Support for David did again rise, and his confidence and ability on the pitch grew, leading to the new England manager at the time, Sven Goran Eriksson to hand David the captain's armband in 2001. In this role he succeeded in taking the England team into the finals of World Cup 2002 in Japan and Korea. One of David's best performances as England Captain was ensuring qualification for World Cup '02. England only managed to draw in this match, but as other players looked woeful on the pitch, Beckham played amazingly. Chasing every ball, and leading by example, he saved the team by curling the ball into the net from a late free-kick to secure a point, and a place in the finals.

Beckham played in all of England's matches at Euro 2004, but the tournament was a disappointment for him. He had a penalty saved in England's 2-1 defeat to France and missed another in a penalty shootout in the quarter final against Portugal. England lost the shootout and went out of the competition.
