Shearer or Beckham- who was the best player and England captain?

Question

Shearer gets my credit and respect!

Answer 1

IMO as players Becks & Shearer are almost impossible to compare: Becks was a right-sided MF & Shearer was an old-fashioned number nine.  Ideally, you'd like to have one of each in your side, although I think that Becks would've been more effective with better pace & more trickery when on the ball.
