Fan bursts into England dressing room, confronts Beckham!

South African police were today searching for an irate England fan, who managed to breach security and storm into the team dressing room last night to remonstrate with players after their dismal nil-nil draw

The fan was allowed to leave the stadium before he could be arrested, and provincial police spokesman Colonel Billy Jones said the man was now wanted for trespassing.

David Beckham, who is now part of the coaching team, had to intervene and calm the fan down.

England players were stunned when they were faced with the furious supporter in a staggering breach of World Cup security.

Moments earlier Princes William and Harry had been in the changing room at the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town to see members of Fabio Capello's team.


However, the Royal pair had just left when the altercation took place.

The fan was allowed to leave before he could be arrested and police are today searching for him.

Last night a major investigation was under way into how the fan wearing an England shirt was able to penetrate security.

Those able to access areas within stadia must have a pass from the sport's governing international body FIFA - the Federation of International Football Associations.

Former England captain Beckham was understood to have been 'alarmed' at being confronted by the supporter.

After being ejected by security the fan was interviewed by both FIFA and England FA security men.

Last night a FA spokesman, said: 'We can confirm that a fan entered the dressing room this evening and we have registered the incident with FIFA.'

The incredible ending to England's appalling World Cup display came after supporters turned on the team as they left the pitch. Hundreds were angry that striker Wayne Rooney made a disparaging remark about them.

Reacting to boos from the crowd, Rooney snarled at an ITV camera man: 'Nice to see your own fans booing you. If that's what loyal support is'.

Of more concern was the fact that a lone fan had been able to access the England dressing room on a night when the two princes were in the stadium to support the team.

A St James's Palace spokesman said: 'The princes met the players privately to offer their support after today's result and as they prepare for their key game on Wednesday. They are totally behind the team.'.
