Alan Shearer was England captain when Man United's David Beckham kicked Argentina's Diego Simeone at the 1998 World Cup
Manchester United legend Beckham is the subject of a popular Netflix documentary that was released nearly a fortnight ago. The documentary looks back at his career, including that forgettable clash with Argentina back in 1998.
Beckham was shown a straight red card for kicking Diego Simeone. The Argentines would go on to win on penalties and Beckham received a torrent of abuse for his part in his side's exit. Shearer, England captain at the time, refused to bury his former teammate for the incident but believes the criticism of Hoddle was unfair. He told The Rest Is Football podcast: “He really heavily criticised Glenn Hoddle for his response after he got sent off. I loved Glenn Hoddle, he gave me the England captaincy and was a fantastic coach.
