Golden boots David Beckham wore on 100th England game could go for five-figure sum at auction

David Beckham's golden football boots he wore when earning his 100th England cap could be sold for up to £10,000.

The adidas 2008 Predators were used by the football icon in a friendly against France in March 2008.

England lost 1-0 on a night which saw 'Golden Balls' receive a yellow card - Fabio Capello's first defeat as Three Lions boss on what was his second game in charge.

Stars including Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, John Terry and Rio Ferdinand also featured in the Stade de France clash, with goalscorer Franck Ribery as well as William Gallas, Claude Makelele and Nicolas Anelka among those to represent Les Bleus.

The boots were produced especially for Beckham and feature embroidered St George's Crosses, along with his profile on the left shoe.

The names of his then-three children; Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, are also embroidered on the design.

The ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid star's boots will be sold from December 5 at 1:30pm as part of a wider sporting goods auction by Northamptonshire-based auctioneers Graham Budd Auctions.

A starting bid of £4,600 has also been placed but David Convery, head of sporting memorabilia, estimates that the boots could go for as much as £8,000-10,000.

He told The Sun: "David Beckham is not only an iconic player, but you could also argue that he started the 'style revolution' with this type of golden boot.
