LONDON, June 17 (AFP): David Beckham has admitted he would love to captain England on a permanent basis again.
Beckham, who stepped down as captain after the 2006 World Cup, led his country for the friendly win against Trinidad and Tobago earlier this month.
The LA Galaxy midfielder became England coach Fabio Capello's fourth skipper in four matches as the Italian searches for right man to wear the armband in next season's World Cup qualifiers.
Beckham knows John Terry, Rio Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard all have strong claims to be captain as well, but he insisted he would never turn down the honour if Capello offered it.
