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!!

David Beckham Returns for England

David Beckham's loan move to AC Milan has paid off as he was selected in England's squad for the friendly international against Spain on Wednesday. He will probably gain his 108th cap, thus equalling the number of caps won by the late, great Bobby Moore.

I, for one, think this is a good move and that England have a better chance of winning games with him in the team.
