David Beckham Retires: Midfielder Tours Far East Weeks Before Hanging Up His Boots

Sometimes David Beckham was photographed playing football, sometimes he was photographed posing in a posh suit.

And occasionally he was photographed doing both. That was the case in his recent visit to China, where a smartly-dressed Becks underlined his massive popularity in the Far East, showcased the art of free kick-taking, and joined in a game.

The five-day ambassadorial trip to China in March has turned out to be his last as a professional footballer, but there will be plenty more photocalls like this, rest assured.
