Is David Beckham one of the Premier League all-time greats? He's not even in the top 1,000 says Chris Waddle

Ah, I remember Chris Waddle. 62 caps where he did a very creditable impression of a man involved in an indifference competition with John Barnes. 62 caps and hwat did he achieve? A little challenge for anyone else who remembers his playing days. Without resorting to google or youtube, name one highlight of Waddle's international career: a goal, a great pass, a fantastic dribble, a pelanty that didn't sail 40 yards over the bar?

As for Becks: single best crosser of the ball I've ever seen, single best free kick specialist, and a passing ability not far behind Glenda herself. If all average Englishmen could do that, England might actually win something.
