Thumbs up David Beckham

Rather nice gesture from the man,after his signing for Paris St Germain,he is donating his entire wages from the deal to a children's charity.Big respect to the man although,i don't think he'll miss it

Good for him, whether he'll miss it or not that is a pretty special gesture that very few others regardless of Financial status would do

Tax in France is 75% on high earners, that said he didn't have to give it away

Apparently he is keeping his earnings on sponsorship and shirt sales which aren't taxed at 75%

People call him thick, but are they the handsome multi millionaires

One of the nicest things about him? He doesn't try to be a smart****. The other thing? He's modest.
