TONY ADAMS have revealed how David Beckham broke down in tears in the England dressing room after England’s 1998 World Cup heartbreak.

But instead of consoling the then Three Lions youngster – he gave him a hilarious DIG in the moments after full-time.

England went on to draw 2-2 with their arch rivals before crashing out on penalties 4-3.

And Adams has revealed how he went into the dressing room afterwards where the Beckham was in floods of tears.

But instead of comforting the Manchester United icon, he gave him a hilarious dig about it being his last World Cup.

Adams told The Sun’s incredible World Cup preview night: “In 1998 we had so much talent in the country then, Becks and the Manchester United boys went onto win the treble.

“But we got done on penalties, fate kind of takes over.”;
