Beckham to wear commemorative boots in final home match

Style has never been a problem for David Beckham.

On the eve of his final home match as a professional soccer player, Beckham announced he will be lacing up these custom boots for Paris Saint-Germain’s match against Brestois. He has partnered up with adidas to create these and it’s clear that they are carrying some signature Beckham style.

Beckham announced his decision on Facebook stating:

“I wanted to show the passion I had playing for my country and the pride that gave me during my career. You also see the names of Victoria and the kids which have always been there on my boots.”

A touching tribute from a true family man.

Beckham begins Football Ambassador role in China

Nǐ hǎo, Becks!

David Beckham arrived in Beijing today to begin his role as China’s first global football ambassador! On his first four-day visit, Beckham received a big reception by fans and media, as you would come to expect.

While still playing for Paris Saint-Germain, for free because he donated his salary to charity, Beckham will attend league matches in China and visit schools to promote the game at grassroots level. And on this trip, he even played a little pick-up, still in his suit.

SAINT AND SINNER IN PARIS MATCH

France Football is billing this weekend’s clash between PSG and Marseille as a match of biblical proportions. David Beckham could make his debut for the French Ligue 1 leader, but the media is more interested in a potential personal battle between the former England captain and Joey Barton. Beckham has been cast in the role of an angel while predictably Barton is playing a demon. Barton is already ramping up interest in the game by saying, in a cod French accent presumably, that his adversary is not the athlete of five years ago. Sacre bleu!

He might have recently decided to ditch Los Angeles for a short stop in Paris, but David Beckham just can’t resist the lures of London.

There’s no place quite like home, eh Becks?
