Oh. Oh. *sobs*

Thank you Abbi for these, much as, yes, it ups the woe factor. Ah, if there must be pain let's get it over with as quickly as possible.

Natch, I feel compelled to point out the matching shirts donned for press related nonsense, which is extremely BJ which of course stands for Baby Jesus but which you could misconstrue, if you wanted to. Hee.

'And because he cared, he really cared. And he looked fabulous while he was doing it.'
WORD.

He was both a wonderful player and an inspiring captain.
He also was the male Madonna in stretching the bounds of fashion.

I love him. His players love him, which is so important.

Ah me. End of an era. We all knew it would happen one day, but still....

Oh David. I remember thinking during one of his high points, "My lord/i>, with your beauty and your captainliness, what have we done to deserve you?"

My vote for top Becks moment was his 'breathe, breathe' motion during... that match I can't put a name to. *forgetful*

Oh David indeed hun. Not to speak as if delivering a eulogy, but we shall never see his like again. Mould broken, etc.. He was, is, breathtaking really.

*also cannot recall match but knows exactly what you mean*

Simply adorable. The actions displayed large in the unlikely event that his lads had forgotten the mechanics, bless his heart.

And forgive, but favourite moments will always be informed by the Ship. Currently leading the pack is the time ( v France, Euro 2004) when EFRB had ducked into Titi's boot and was shaking off an imminent concussion. Cue David sliding his hand into the Neville's chocolate locks and not-quite-gently yanking his head back. Followed by blood. Followed by mucho nagging from ECF about treatment.

*sighs*

I'd bang on about the knee touching v Wales but that is clearly OT.

*sighs* it's so sad...
I can't imagine England without Beckham... just can't.

He wants to play on, just not as captain. Which may be good for him, I'm thinking. But still, to see my national team running out without David at the head of the line? That will be strange and sad for a while....

I have to say, so please don't smack me...

"Thanks for the memories"

Ah, there'll be not smacking from these quarters. Memories are precious. *strokes dvd and vhs collection*

I want to live long enough to see Lord Neville managing England and bringing the OTL in as a set-piece specialist.
