David Beckham plans to frame the shirt worn by Zinedine Zidane when the French captain scored his two injury-time goals to sink England 2-1 last Sunday.

However, Beckham will wait until his Real Madrid team-mate has time to sign the shirt.

Recalling the scene after Sunday's final whistle, Beckham told reporters: "We said a few things in Spanish and swapped shirts. He had a smile to say 'that's the way it goes'."

Asked what he would do with the shirt, the England skipper said: "I'll frame it and put it in my house. You have great memories of a great player and memories are good. You always look back on things and sometimes it's good to have disappointing memories so you can look forward to the better ones ahead of you."

Beckham added: "He loves playing and training, he works as hard in training as he does in matches and that's what is good to see about players like that. They don't just do it in games."

Both men faced the responsibility of taking a penalty on Sunday. Beckham's was saved by Fabien Barthez but Zidane crashed his past David James to secure an improbable victory in the final seconds.
