DAVID BECKHAM: THE TOP 10 DEFINING MOMENTS of Britain's Most Famous Footballer

1) Penny For A Sarong - Dave was famously photographed in sarong, and later revealed he had bought several of the startling garments while out shopping with Mel B's ex, Jimmy Goldcard. As his dad remarked: "You jessie, you'll look like a blimmin' tart!"

2) Jesus Pose In Time Out - Our hero posed in a rather beautiful white outfit, adopting a crucifixion pose in 1999. At Easter. Amazingly, the sort of people who get offended by those sort of things got very offended.

3) 'It's Good' - When asked his views about Sven-Goran Eriksson's appointment, England's captain insisted: "It's great. He has a lot of experience with Lazio and other clubs. It should be good, it will be good. We have got many good players and they will become a good team. He is a great manager. I think it will be a good thing."

4) Former Brylcreem Boy - Dave had a rather tidy little number going as the face (hair?) of Brylcreem, an endorsement deal estimated to be worth nearly a squillion pounds a year. So what does David do? Shave off his hair. The work dried up a lot faster than their hair gel does.

5) Tattoo Balls-Up - Already the proud owner of a Brooklyn tat and a sort of Guardian angel thing, Dave decides to tattoo Victoria on his arm in Hindi, because it "looks arty". The effect is in no way spoilt by the Hindi misspelling of her name as Vihctoria. A nation sympathises.

6) Wearing Victoria's Underwear - Behind every successful man, there's a strong woman. Behind David Beckham, sadly, is a woman prone to even more bizarre outbursts than himself. With the whole country thinking that she wears the trousers in the relationship, Vicks goes one better by insisting that her man wears her thongs. Cheers, love.

7) Discussing Forthcoming Parkinson Appearance With Victoria In Back Of Car - David: "It's an honour to be invited on his show because he's a legend. Everyone tries to catch me out and most of the time I do get caught out. He'll probably throw in a couple of long words that I won't understand. I'll just have to combine the little words that he says before that and make something up." Victoria: "Don't say that, you make yourself sound stupid and you're not." David: "I am stupid — everyone thinks I'm stupid." Victoria: "That doesn't mean you are stupid. They're all ugly." David: "So am I."

8) Calling First Born Son Brooklyn - An extraordinary name in itself, but made all the better by the fact that the whole nation knows where the poor mite was conceived. A little more information than was required, surely? However, it kept Jimmy Tarbuck and the like in work for a year with jokes about "at least it wasn't called bathroom floor" and so on.

9) Don't Clap, Just Throw Money - Victoria and David confirmed their status as Britain's classiest couple when asking guests not to bring a present to the wedding, but instead to give Marks & Spencers vouchers, or cash.

10) Gay Icon - Told that he was a dreamboat for men as well as ladies, the great man took it all in his stride. And of course his good lady wife was on hand to say "he dances around going 'I'm a gay icon, I'm a gay icon'".
