Too Many Captains?

The England captaincy debate is back. The Daily Mirror report Tony Adams saying Beckham should pass the armband to John Terry if England are to have any chance in Germany. The Mirror's headline Terry in June is fantastic, but this is the same Tony Adams who repeatedly argued England should bench Wayne Rooney at Euro 2004.

Elsewhere, one of Frank Lampard's relatives is touting him as the next England captain. Harry Redknapp ('Uncle Harry' to Frank) told Sporting Life "I really think Frank should be the next captain of England because I think he's got something about him ... he's a real credit to his family."

It's not Frank's fault (we've all got crazy Uncles), and John Terry is fully behind Beckham , so there's no big conspiracy. Beckham has been captain of England for 5 years now, and will still be captain next June, no matter how clever the headline writers get, (or how proud it would make Uncle Harry.)

Don't get the "Terry in June" gag? This should make things a little clearer.
