Western Cape police are investigating circumstances surrounding an unauthorised entry of a member of the public into the changing rooms of the English soccer team at the Cape Town Stadium.

It is believed the unknown individual entered the players changing room after the match last night, where after he was escorted from the premises by a FIFA official.

He ranted at coach Fabio Capello and his players after their goalless World Cup draw with Algeria.

The intruder, wearing an England shirt, burst in at about a quarter-past-11 last night, just a few minutes before Princes William and Harry were due to meet the players.

He reportedly had to be talked out of the room by David Beckham.

Police spokesperson Colonel Billy Jones says at this stage the incident is now being given full investigation to determine.

“CCTV footage is being examined as part of the investigation, and all security personnel will be questioned to shed light on the matter,” said Jones.
