London, Feb.7 : Former England captain Alam Shearer believes that coach Fabio Capello should give David Beckham his 100th England cap - and then ask him to quit.

"If I was Becks, I'd have phoned Capello and said 'Give me five or 10 minutes near the end so I can get my 100th cap and then I'll go', The Sun quoted Shearer, as saying.

"I think he should retire because there are younger players coming through like David Bentley and Aaron Lennon," he added.
