Want Beckham on your back?


UPDATE - You can now read the really interesting (and cute in places) Beckham cover story from the August edition of W Magazine online and I've added 12+ steamy new photos from the shoot here. There are some more pics of Becks in his new LA Galaxy kit from Adidas in the advertising gallery. There's also more 'move coverage' in today's USA Today and in The Telegraph

The new LA Galaxy shirts are officially on sale now and can be ordered online from authorised outlets such as Soccer.com also known as Eurosport.

Something to keep in mind for female fans is that the smaller 'youth' versions of the jerseys may actually be a better fit for you so check the size charts before ordering as they are also $20 cheaper.

One other thing to consider is that the shirts currently on sale are authorised replicas which means they look like what the players wear but they are made from a different fabric. If you would like to be able to buy an "authentic" replica, a shirt that is identical in every way including fabric to the shirts worn by David Beckham, you will need to wait as these shirts are not on sale as yet.

David Beckham GalaxianI have spoken with a couple of fans of Becks who have been collecting David Beckham shirts for many years and have quite the collections and they said they had positive experiences purchasing from the following - www.soccer.com - www.subsidesports.com - www.kitbag.com - www.sportsdirect.com

They also suggested the following stores www.uksoccershop.com and www.soccer-tops.com should be avoided.

If you live outside of the USA Soccer.com aka Eurosport will ship internationally and there rates for doing so are better than the other store I tried. When you are going through the first form they will ask you for a US zip code just pop in 90210 and then on the following screens you will be able to put in your international address.

If you live in the US the shirts are also for sale through your local Sports Authority or Dick's Sporting Goods Store.

Chelsea Comments

There was a press conference with the Chelsea Team today and as their friendly against the Los Angeles Galaxy next week will be David Beckham's debut the media were interested in the teams views on Becks and his move, here are some of their comments -

Arjen Robbens said "I think and I hope he's going to have a big impact ... Obviously there are going to be a lot more expectations on him for football in the US but hopefully he can bring it to another level."

"He's a top quality player and he's showed it. I think it was the best way to leave Madrid, if you win a title and you have a good influence on things then you've done a great job."


Robben also believes Beckham will be able to handle the media frenzy that will follow him as he adjusts to life in the MLS.

"When the press follows him very close it makes it a bit more difficult but he'll just try to stay himself," the Dutchman added. "Sometimes that's quite difficult. Myself, I like a lot of privacy around myself and my family but that's his life and he has to adapt to that.

"He has to adapt to life here, the football here, it's different. We'll have to see. I think he's looking forward to it. Off the field is always difficult. I've met him a couple of times and to me he is just a normal guy, a very good and friendly guy who just likes to live his life."


Jose Mourinho said "They couldn’t choose a better player [Beckham] to achieve what they want to achieve. I think it's a pity for European football that a good player like him is gone but we all in Europe want soccer in the US to go up (in popularity). We are Chelsea and we have a responsibility. We want to give the Los Angeles Galaxy a big game to promote their new team."

Ashley Cole said "He’s still one of the best. If you ask any player who’s marked him, he’s still quick... People say he ain’t, but he’s still got the skills."

Is it me or why cant i never access the Ads pix? Can someone post the link here.

Blogger rpm said...

1000's of people literally have accessed the galleries without a problem so that does suggest it is you - the web pages are just plain old php which is really common on the net you don't need any special plugins its not using java or flash. Is it only the Ads pix you are having the problem with?

Yup only those, it has never let me go into those. Not just now but since ive been to this site.

I go on the link

http://davidbeckham.fans-online.com/photos/Ads/

and it just a blank page.

Blogger rpm said...

well that's actually impossible sorry. All the galleries are identical code and if there was an error you wouldn't get a blank page so it's nothing on this side and even on the browser side it's actually technically impossible for what you describe to happen. If your browser had an issue with the gallery's php or an incompatability of some kind you would experience that with every album not just one. They all work the same :) and are driven by one central database they aren't individual so I can't help you as I have no idea what to suggest.

I have to say that Becks can't take a bad pic eva hes just too damn handsome but really the W shoot is pretty ordinary and what is with all the yuck props i guess its meant to be arty but it just doesn't work ... I think it lacks class and Becks is so beautiful its a waste to do a so-so shoot with a man that gorgeous!!! imho

Thanks for those wonderful pictures Anna!
As Celia said before, the decor is very ordinary... what a pity!
But David and Victoria are gorgeous as always...

(Anna, i have a nice picture of David and Tom Cruise before a "magnum" of wine, recently published in a french mag. Would you like me to send it to you or not?)

The Man Utd Poll is scheduled for July 23 so I'll post a note asking people to vote on July 22 and 23 Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks Laurance. I've seen the pics of Becks and Tom as well as some with Raul and Salgado and the huge bottle of wine so it's ok you don't need to send it.
