Loading ...What I’m curious about is where on earth did LA Galaxy find 300 million (pounds or dollars, can’t remember) to buy Beckham?
Also, I completely see the relation to cricket in this. :p
Beckham and his billions
By Will last year, mid-January Leave a comment on this post
I have nothing much to say about the news that David Beckham, the celebrity’s celebrity, is to earn £500,000 per week in his move from Real Madrid to the American league side, Los Angeles Galaxy. By my reckoning, going on us average UK mugs who work a minimum of 78 hours/week, that amounts to £6410. Per hour. (£1.78 per second) It’s football; he’s Beckham; it happens. More interestingly is wondering what he might spend his millions on. He could buy four of these Aston Martin DB9s (Volante, naturally) each week and still have enough spare to buy a terrace (or probably two) in Bradford.
Beckham in Bradford…the mind boggles. What do you actually do with all that money? I can’t imagine him turning to Posh and asking “So. Fancy a DVD and some telly tonight?”. Instead of paying your bill at a restaurant, you’d pay everybody’s. Or buy the restaurant outright.
Can we expect Beckham Airlines in the future? Posh and Becks Train Travel: guaranteeing you a vacuous journey to faux-stardom.

It has nothing to do with cricket, you’re absolutely right. The heathen has crossed over to the dark side temporarily…

Apart from playing a good game of soccer…I often wonder what (if anything.)Beckam is qualified to do?
And what will he become when Galaxy have finished with him?
