Gary Lineker has leapt to David Beckham 's defence after Piers Morgan branded the Manchester United legend "the most overrated player in history".
The Match of the Day host, 61, bickered at length with the former Good Morning Britain presenter, 56, on Monday, with the latter also referring to Beckham as a "fame-hungry snail" on social media.
The former England captain, 46, is regarded as one of football's greatest icons and he was famed throughout his playing days for his astonishing crossing and set-piece-taking ability.
