NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE

Even on this simple/humble blog you can't hide from soccer or Wog ball to some in Australia - because it's so popular with European immigrants.(Note: One of my sons says this word is a serious insult and should never be used).
Anyway, in Europe now we're right in the middle of Europe 2016 soccer madness. All the old stars have been resuscitated on telly: including Pele, Maradona, and Best amongst others. And, of course, David Beckham, villain and saint of English football - once reviled, when he was red carded and sent off the pitch in a World Cup game against Argentina - and then colonised when, despite often playing under pressure, he led MU to an unprecedented triple crown: the Premier League championship, the FA Cup and the European Cup.

Here's my version of his pretty face.
