Apparently Fabio Capello wants David Beckham to be a part of England's World Cup entourage even though his injury means he can't be one of the 23-man playing squad. He will bring to the party his influence, experience, what-have-you.
He's going as Bez.
I'm all for it.
All manner of congregations of people gathered in a common cause - pop groups, offices, football teams, whatever - need their Bez. It's an oft-derided but much under-estimated role.
