Neville is due to play his first competitive international since the Euro 2004 finals in the opening qualifier for the 2008 tournament, against Andorra at Old Trafford on Saturday.
So amidst all the confusion of the last day of transfer madness he said he had never given up hope of getting an England recall and encourages Beckham to do the same.
However getting replaced by Robinho after 76 goal less minutes in the Real Madrid game against Villareal wouldn’t have helped Beckham’s cause with Steve McClaren very much .
Calderon has said that Real Madrid, which has not won a trophy in three years,were keeping Beckham mainly for his athletic value, not his marketing allure.
