David Beckham

David Beckham has taken a pay cut to ensure that he can stay at AC Milan. This is a remarkable move by a top-class sportsman and it just goes to show that they don't just play for the money. A chance to become 'immortal' by winning the World Cup is worth more than a few quid (OK, so it's a few MILLION quid!!).

Also today, Sir Jackie Stewart has waived his fee for the next year in his role as sporting ambassador for RBS. A fine gesture...we're all now waiting for Sir Fred Goodwin to make a similar move! Nope, I don't expect it either!!
