David Beckham burst into floods of tears as he played his final ever
game as a professional footballer in Paris this evening. The 38-year-old was given the honour of captaining Paris St Germain
during their final home game of the season against Brest and paid an emotional
farewell as he brought the curtain down on a career spanning more than 20
years. With his wife Victoria and their four children Romeo, Brooklyn, Cruz and
Harper, watching from the stand, Beckham was given a standing ovation by
players and fans from both sides as he left the pitch to be substituted in the
second half.
A visibly upset Beckham was inconsolable as he left the field on 81
minutes. The game came to an impromptu halt as PSG players surrounded him and
hugged the former England captain by one before he walked off. Beckham had looked emotional before the game, waving to the crowds and
blowing kisses to his fans during the warm up for his final match. As his name was read out over the stadium's speaker system, PSG fans
gave out a huge cheer and continued to chant 'Stay David, Stay' throughout the
match. Despite playing just 460 minutes of football for PSG, the massively
wealthy club wanted to honour Beckham for the publicity he has brought them
around the world - making him captain for one night only.
