Beckham's a lucky bum

Lucky bum ... AC Milan's Andrea Pirlo (left) and Clarence Seedorf (right) congratulate midfielder David Beckham after he scored against Bologna.


DAVID Beckham is used to getting a lot of attention both on and off the pitch.

Just maybe not quite this friendly.

The 33-year-old football ace was seen getting groped by his AC Milan team-mates, Andrea Pirlo and Clarance Seedorf during the Serie A stars game against Bologna at the Renato Dall'Ara stadium.

But The Daily Mail has reported it wasn't just a case of cheeky behaviour, the pair were congratulating midfielder Beckham - and also touching him for luck after he scored his first goal for the club he is on loan to for three months.

An AC Milan insider said: "Everyone knows Beckham has a golden touch and he has proved that since he arrived. Italy is a superstitious country and people often touch things for luck - the players are doing the same with Beckham and touching his bottom because he is seen as a lucky mascot."
