• Beckham has yet to conquer America with his kicks and charms, but he does hope to: the midfielder says he’s considering finishing his pro career in the U.S. with a Major League Soccer team. This move could dovetail nicely with his career plans after hanging up his cleats; he already has a soccer academy in Los Angeles.

• He recently admitted he suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, one of the more useful mental illnesses.

• He loves his family and he loves tattoos so what better to do than have his family's names tattooed on his body. Show us your tattoos and post them here.
  

• David and wife Victoria recently purchased a state-of-the-art wheelchair for a 5-year-old girl who suffers from cerebral palsy.

• Despite their ridiculous wealth, Victoria says their family life is low-key. “Trust me—at home, where nobody sees us, we’re so normal, it’s almost boring.” We trust her, but the paparazzi do not.

• Becks and Posh reportedly “absolutely loved” the Beckham-inspired English comedy Bend it Like Beckham.

• Beckham originally hoped to make an appearance in Steve Martin’s remake of The Pink Panther, but he couldn’t work it into his schedule because of his participation in the England team’s Euro 2004 matches.

• Beckham was recently dethroned as soccer’s top moneymaker by Brazilian sensation Ronaldinho, who earned $28.5 million in salary and endorsements. Beckham’s measly take last year was $22.8 million.

• Manchester United sold Beckham to Spain’s Real Madrid for a hefty $41,000,000 transfer fee.

• United teammate Gary Neville served as Beckham’s best man at his extravagant wedding at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland on July 4, 1999.

• Beckham's favourite subject at school was art.

• His first 'appearance' for Manchester United was at the age of 12 - as a team mascot in a game against Beckham's local team, West Ham United.

• Posh Spice was in Beckham's romantic radar long before he actually met her in person. After seeing the video for the Spice Girls' Say You'll be There, Beckham told his friends that he had 'just seen the girl of my dreams!'

• Beckham is famed for wearing the No 7 for Manchester United. He originally played in the No 10 shirt though, He only changed when Eric Cantona left Old Trafford and Becks bagged the No 7.

• Beckham has yet to win the prestigous World Player of the Year award, He came second in 2000 and 2001.

• Spanish officials advised the Beckham's not to christen their third child Cruz. Naming a boy with a traditional girls name is illegal in Spain!

• Beckham was the hero of Parminder Nagra's character Jesminder 'Jess' Kaur Bhamra in the 2002 movie 'Bend It Like Beckham'. Nagra now stars in 'ER', the hit hospital TV drama. The movie was also introduced Keira Knightley to the masses.

• In 2004, Becks had a Power Ranking of 22 in Forbes' Top 100 celebrities. By 2006, his Power Ranking had fallen to number 43 with an estimated $27 million in endorsements and pay. That's still a lot of earning potential.

• Becks is a top earning soccer star thanks to his off field endorsements which have included Police sunglasses, Brylcreem, Marks and Spencer, Vodafone, Pepsi, Gillette, milk, Motorola and of course Adidas.
  

• Becks received a $50,000 M3Power razor encrusted with two rows of 4.5 carat white diamonds and one row of extremely rare green diamonds with a solid white-gold tip from Gillette for Fathers' Day. Becks was delighted, amazed and touched to be given the personalised razor.
  

• Becks sports a Hebrew tattoo on his left arm which reads "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine". Unfortunately, scholars of the language have pointed out that the character used for 'beloved' is not unisex in Hebrew and is generally used as a term of endearment for a man not a woman. Poor Victoria!

• More new Adidas boots for Becks in this World Cup campaign. The Predator Absolute Lion is part of the exclusive David Beckham range. It has five lions on each boot to represent the other 10 players in his team. It retails at £200 per pair. If Becks lifts the World Cup this year, expect your children to be demanding these magic boots.

• Smell it like Beckham: His own fragrance brand is launched to coincide with the World Cup by Coty Inc.

• Beckham may be heading for one of the Major League Soccer teams Los Angeles Galaxy or New York Red Bulls where he'll inject glamour and glitz into the league. He would follow in the footsteps of previous great soccer superstars like Pele and Beckenbauer also played for Cosmos in North American Soccer League at the end of their careers.
  

• Becks is still a top earner despite a poor performance overall in the World Cup. His continuing endorsements will earn him a cool £10 million by the time they end between 2008 and 2010.
  

• A very poor overall show by England in the World Cup and an exit once again in the quarter finals could be blamed on a mix of reasons:

- Sven's complete lack of any sensible decision making, tactics, etc.;
- top class footballers not being able to deliver despite their outrageously large pay checks (e.g. Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, and sadly, Becks himself);
- some stupidity (stamping's not big and it's not clever);
- some injuries (e.g. Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville, Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen, and of course Becks himself too);

• With Michael Owen seriously injured from the World Cup and looking like he is going to be out of domestic football for the rest of next season, rumours are rife that Newcastle United have approached Real Madrid for Beckham. Such rumours have been fuelled by Victoria photographed emerging from the same swanky London hotel Claridges, as The Magpies chairman. Becks' agent has strongly denied that Posh and Freddy Shepherd were meeting and a "Newcastle United source" (whoever that be) has joined in the denials. Real Madrid also claim that Beckham is very important to the club and are in no hurry to get rid of him.

So you thought the number 23 shirt Beckham wears for Real Madrid was just randomly assigned? Mathematician Marcus du Sautoy didn't. This number cruncher spotted that Becks' number 23 is a prime. He then noticed that all Real Madrid's key players have been given prime numbers.

Dr Carlton Brick, a politics and sociology lecturer at the University of Paisley, believes that Becks could well be the messiah for the celebrity age. Speaking at a conference on celebrity culture, he said: “It is not me that is saying Beckham is a pseudo Christ-like figure, but it is how he is often portrayed, and it is how he portrays himself.”

It's not just the academics at Paisley who're Becks obsessed, those fans with an intellectual bent can now study Beckham as part of a course on football culture at the University of Staffordshire.

The enterprising London Borough of Waltham Forest have made an interesting link between the famous footballer and ramblers by creating the Beckham Trail. Lovers of alpine poles and sturdy walking boots can now enjoy their hobby whilst taking in the broad vistas of such places as the maternity unit where he was born or Walthamstow Stadium where he once had a part-time job collecting glasses.


Heavens to merkin! Nobody does 'odd' like the Japanese and it seems that the Becks fangirls of Tokyo were so appreciative of his Mohican cut that it became very popular to emulate it. The 'Beckham Mohican' is not a style you'll see on these girls' heads though; it's the fashion to have it done in a place much further South.

So you want to bend it like Beckham do you?

According to Dr David James at Sheffield Hallam University, it's simply a matter of applying physics. All you need to do is master the Magnus Effect. If that means as much to you as the offside rule, then worry not, all will become clear. You need to make the ball spin because if it's spinning whilst travelling through the air, low air pressure will be created on the side of the ball which is spinning in the same direction as the air current and high pressure will be created on the ball's opposite side. This makes the ball move up, down or sideways in the air, depending on the type of spin applied. What does this mean? Well, a ball that 'bends' mid-flight is obviously harder to save.

Loreta Bilinskaite-Burke (and other members of her family) spent 3 months creating a 49 square foot tapestry of Beckham in a religious pose whilst a student at Central St Martins College of Art and Design. It was priced at a staggering £37,000.
