+World Cup watch+

-

IN AN ad for his TV series Save Our Squad, David Beckham says all he ever wanted was to ‘put something back into football’. Since agreeing £150 million for a ten-year deal to promote Qatar, it looks like all he’s ever done is put a wodge of cash in his pocket.

THERE’S a bitter irony in England stars demanding to wear the rainbow armband to support persecuted LGBT people in Qatar, when not one of our 557 Premier League players has felt able to come out as gay. Perhaps they should be addressing the homophobia in our own beautiful game before lecturing others.

n ENGLAND captain Harry Kane wears a jaw-dropping £520,000 Rolex rainbow watch in a private protest. Hardly any sacrifice for a man who earns £ 200,000 a week playing for Spurs.
