David Beckham has been named England captain for Sunday's friendly against Trinidad & Tobago.
It is a remarkable turnaround for the 33-year-old who stepped down as skipper after the 2006 World Cup and was then dropped by former boss Steve McClaren.
The midfielder did regain his place under McClaren but was then made to wait for his 100th cap when current manager Fabio Capello took charge.
Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard and John Terry were Capello's previous skippers.
The Italian is rotating the captaincy among his players before he makes a permanent decision.
Beckham will lead the team out for the 59th time on Sunday and is likely to take charge of an inexperienced England team.
Some of the younger squad members may be given the chance to impress as seven players involved in the Champions League final between Chelsea and Manchester United - including Terry and Wayne Rooney - have stayed behind.
Capello has had concerns over Beckham's fitness and the fact that he now play his football in the USA with the Colorado Rapids.
However, Beckham has recently shown he could have a role in World Cup qualifiers next season.
Particularly when he set up the opener in the recent win against the USA with a free-kick for Terry to head in.
