David Beckham, fresh from the early exit of Team England from the 2010 World Cup soccer tournament in South Africa last week, has made his way from Nice, France (where he met up with his family to rest, relax and lick his World Cup wounds a bit) to England so that he and his eldest son Brooklyn Joseph could attend the 2010 Wimbledon tennis tournament as spectators. Here are a few photos:
He may not have achieved his dream of being part of the first England football team since 1966 to lift the World Cup. But David Beckham put his disappointment behind him to show his support for another Great Briton – Scottish tennis player Andy Murray. The footballer flew back from Nice where he is holidaying with his family to take his seat on Centre Court. And the handsome father of three, brought eldest son Brooklyn, 11, along to hopefully see history in the making as Murray bid to become the first British male to win the singles title since 1938. Beckham is attached to the same management company as the Scot and joined the Centre Court crowd to watch the British number one’s clash with champion Rafa Nadal. But he has lost the first set, and will certainly face stiff competition from the Spaniard. Beckham he made a surprise appearance alongside several other invited celebrity guests including Lord Of The Rings actor Orlando Bloom, classical singer Katherine Jenkins and veteran broadcaster Sir David Frost. The Royal Box will feature several big sporting names, including 1966 Wimbledon champion Manuel Santana, who will be cheering on his fellow Spaniard Nadal. Beckham has already congratulated Murray by text message on his success at Wimbledon this year.
I guess Principal McGee from the classic 1978 film Grease was right when she said, “If you can’t be in athlete, be an athletic supporter.” It’s a shame that Becks has been spending so much time at sporting events watching from the sidelines. I’m really looking forward to his full recovery so that he can get back on the fields of glory again! Becks should be back in LA sometime soon to step back into his LA Galaxy soccer uniform. But, in the meantime, I guess we’ll just have to settle with photos of Becks as an avid athletic supporter. Ah well.
