MINSK: David Beckham celebrated overtaking Sir Bobby Charlton to become England's third most capped player by paying tribute to the influence the Manchester United and England legend has had on his career.

"Without a doubt it means a lot," Beckham said after winning his 107th cap - one more than Charlton managed - with an appearance as a late substitute in the 3-1 win over Belarus here on Wednesday.

"Sir Bobby Charlton was a hero of my dad's and also of mine. I went to his soccer school when I was a boy. With him being a Manchester United legend I'm very honored to be above him in the list and as close to him as I am."
