ADVICE FROM AN URINE ENHANCED PERSPECTIVE

Last updated : 05 July 2004 By editor

Alan Shearer has told Beckham to concentrate on his football.

"Up until now nobody has ever questioned his lifestyle because he has been fantastic for England and he deserves credit for that. But he has not had a good tournament and people are asking why.2

"I said before the tournament his off-field lifestyle will put a bigger spotlight on him and now he is getting criticised. That is going to hurt him I know. He has jetted around the world before with his off-field commitments and still been able to play his football. Only he knows whether he can continue doing that and perform at the very highest levels. You take on a lot playing football at this level as it is, without other things. I’m not saying I am necessarily right but I have always played my football then retired to a more private life with my family and enjoyed my rest."

"Whichever way David does it, he needs to get back to being the footballer he was six months ago."
