Last updated : 19 August 2003 By Site Editor

Speaking of the occassion three years ago when he scored a free kick in the 1-1 draw at Portman Road after Fabian Wilnis gave Ipswich Town the lead, Beckham said : "It was a great atmosphere that night. I can remember the fans were really up for it and the players were too.

"It is a closed-in ground so it will generate a great atmosphere and I'm really looking forward to going back there.

"I'm good friends with Wrighty and we spent a lot of time together when I was living in Manchester and I have mentioned how I scored against him with a free-kick that night."

"I have always said it is great to travel around to different grounds because it is not always possible for England fans in different parts of the country to get to see England."
