British soccer champ David Beckham has been named and shamed in two new lists, one reporting on history’s biggest sports flops and another listing the worst facial hair in show business.
or Posh Spice came 10th in the ‘Maxim’ magazine list of the greatest “choke artists” in world sporting history. The writer described his $275 million move from Réal Madrid as “nothing short of a catastrophe” because Becks has scored only seven goals in his 39 appearances for LA Galaxy since starting there in 2007. (Romanian tennis player Simona Halep was named as the number-one flop for having her breasts reduced in order to improve her game.)
Meanwhile, Goldenballs – who now sports quite a large beard – has also topped an online poll held to find the worst famous facial hair. He scored 32% of the vote, coming out head and shoulders above furry-faced competitors Craig David, orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt, oickey Rourke and John Travolta.
