Beckham statment about what he wants to do when he

[heja]

finishes playing his football career ;D

David Beckham has revealed his plans for when he quits football – and, in true Posh and Becks style, they’re more than a little ambitious.

Yes, while other soccer stars may be content to simply become Match of the Day pundits or reality TV stars when they hang up their boots, Becks has decided that he want to follow in the steps of Neil Armstrong - and become an astronaut.

"It would be great to have the opportunity to go to the moon when I retire from football," says a straight-faced David. "It would be a real experience," he adds with his usual understatement. "A lot of players go into coaching after football - but I've already decided it's not for me." Well, exactly - how dull would teaching a load of youngsters be when you could fly to the moon, eh?! Just one word of advice, though, Becks - don't call NASA; we're sure they'll call you...

;D

I was surprised he didn't say Lance Armstrong just to make it sound even more stupid ;D

thats great.

shot into space , then lost in space, then becks would have a total recall, and realise he isnt a footballer and he hasnt married posh.

ugh! time for a reality check

Why does it sound so far fetched?

Richard Branson is planning to start taking members of the public to space as early as 2008 for US$200,000

I'm sure that's within Beckham's budget.

Virgin Galactic

but he is saying he wants to go to the moon in just a few years time, not just a few miles above the earth

Think Becks will find those ball he shot over the bar?

The law of averages states that sooner or later he will score a goal from HIS trade mark freekick.

Being an astronaut, he will only get one chance, miss the landing and your history.

Captain Beckham.
Houston I fink we have a problem. I can't really fly this fing ya no.

He has more money than sense, thats about £5.00 then ;D

LOL. Give it 40 years and we might all be astronauts anyway. Mind you, people thought that in 1975. Err....? I always remember a pack of Top Trumps from my youth in the early Eighties. It was a spaceships pack. They had the Shuttle and the Ariadne rocket that existed and all the other ships were made up. The cute thing was that they had dates when they were expected to come into service eg. 1995, 2000, 2005. Hmmmmm. Wish I'd kept those cards now.

Yeah, everyone remembers that goal from a free kick in the 98th minute he scored against Greece which got us into some finals or something. But you know how many free kicks he missed from before the one he scored ? Go on, guess. I know because I was texting a commentary to a mate and kept count. Well, the number he missed that no one seems to remember in that game is.....









.......13 !

Over the top, that's where most of his shots at goal end up.

Everytime England get a free-kick within his range the goalkeeper lines the wall up because he knows that a shot is coming from Beckham. He (Beckham) makes it easier for them to defend. Why does'nt he change things and pass to someone occassionaly to make the keeper think, is he going to shoot or pass.

Argentina did it to us in the world cup, a guy stands on the end of the wall, the player on the ball shapes up for a shot. Guy on the wall peels off, the ball is played to him and he scores. But you need a few more brain cells to do that.

Beckham thinks, if I score from a free kick I will be in all the papers. If I don't, I will change my hair style then I will be in the papers. I can't lose
