      England to wear rarely-seen kit against Greece in nod to iconic ‘David Beckham game’ 23 years ago

      ENGLAND will look the part as they call on the spirit of David Beckham against Greece.Lee Carsley’s Three Lions are giving a rare revival to the all-white kit worn by Becks against the Greeks in 2001 – a clear nod to the 115-cap legend’s most iconic and important international goal.David Beckham notched one of his most famous goals the last time England faced Greece 23 years agoCredit: News Group Newspapers LtdEngland’s stars are preparing to face Greece in the Nations League on ThursdayCredit: PAThe midfielder was already captain and on his then-home turf of Old Trafford when he arrowed a stoppage-time free-kick into the top corner.That majestic moment which still gives Becks “goosebumps” rescued a 2-2 draw and took the late Sven Goran Eriksson’s men to the 2002 World Cup.Now England will swap blue shorts for white at Wembley on Thursday night.Meanwhile, Greece will play in all-blue, just like they did 23 years ago.READ MORE TOP FOOTBALLIt comes as Carsley plots to make it three wins from three Nations League games.His interim stint is likely to extend to six matches in the same tournament – with the permanent job very much his to lose.In fact, the former England Under-21s boss could virtually assure his appointment with an NL double this week – victory over Greece and then in Finland on Sunday.The 50-year-old is treating each batch of two Nations League matches like a mini-competition in itself.Most read in FootballBecks’ last-gasp strike sent the Three Lions to the 2002 World CupCredit: ReutersFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSHe said: “I definitely don’t feel like it’s an audition. “I have really enjoyed the challenge.
