Emotional farewell for Becks

David Beckham fears it will be a struggle to keep his emotions in check when he wears the LA Galaxy shirt for the last time on Saturday night.

The 37-year-old hopes the final act of his five-and-a-half-year Galaxy career will be to help the franchise secure back-to-back MLS championships.

But before tackling the Houston Dynamos at the Home Depot Center, Beckham's first challenge is to master his own feelings.

He said: "I'm quite an emotional person, so I know that I'll feel more in the run-up to the game."

Beckham is leaving it to others to judge his impact on football in the United States, but his team-mates are more forthcoming about his achievements.

Landon Donovan said: "There's no doubt David's been an overhwleming success both on the field and off, and also within our locker room."

And Robbie Keane added: "He's a credit to the game, and he's been a credit to the Galaxy and the organisation. We're certainly going to miss him."

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!
