David Beckham opens up on crying 'uncontrollably' after his red card in the 1998 World Cup

David Beckham has revealed he sobbed 'uncontrollably' following his dismissal against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup, but admits he felt let down by his England team-mates for not backing him up.

Beckham was sent off for kicking the back of Diego Simeone's leg with his heel in their round of 16 stage defeat, lashing out at the Argentina captain after he had shoved him to the ground.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid winger then had to watch on as England went on to lose the match on penalties.
