AN ANGRY England fan entered the Three Lions team dressing room last night and began hurling insults at the stars after the 0-0 draw with Algeria. David Beckham, who is assisting the team, was said to have been targeted. The fan was quickly escorted away, but players were said to have been left unnerved by the incident. The serious breach of security at Cape Town's Green Point Stadium is believed to have happened minutes after Princes William and Harry left the dressing room after going in to meet the team. An FA spokesman confirmed: "A fan got in past FIFA security. "We have formerly complained to FIFA and will follow it up in writing. "This is not acceptable and thankfully no serious harm was done." An FA source said: "Questions will be asked about how he got through several layers of FIFA security to reach the dressing room. "But he was taken out quickly." More than 40,000 England supporters are in South Africa for the World Cup. The FA will want to ensure security is watertight when England head to Port Elizabeth for Wednesday's do-or-die encounter with Slovenia. England have to win to be sure of qualifying for the last 16. Wills and Harry had visited the players to give them a morale boost ahead of the crucial final group match. Royal sources said the princes "still believe England can go through to the next stage". And there was at least some comfort for the demoralised side yesterday . . . old foes Germany went down 1-0 to Serbia. |
