Beckham to captain LA Galaxy for first time since 2008

David Beckham will captain Los Angeles Galaxy for the first time in three years when the Major League Soccer side face Real Salt Lake on Saturday.
The ex-England skipper, 35, took the role upon joining in 2007 but in recent years Landon Donovan - currently on international duty - has been captain.
Donovan questioned Beckham's commitment to the club was by in 2009, while Galaxy fans booed Beckham for a period.
"I'll be proud to wear it," said Beckham of the captain's armband.

Gotta wonder how much is left in his tank. He seems to always get injured and it's gotta wear down his legs the way he takes every free kick and corner kick. I watched the Galaxy play against the Revolution about a week ago and it seemed like they were trying to force him the ball all the time. I hope he ends his soccer career on a high note.
