David Beckham got quite a starry welcome as he debuted for LA Galaxy in a friendly match. Every move of the British soccer star was celebrated with much enthusiasm.
Beckham, whose debut was doubtful because of an ankle injury, appeared in the field at the 78th minute of the match. David chased the ball for a mere 16 minutes and 19 seconds, touching the ball only 12 times. Meanwhile, he also had to bear sharp pain because of his troublesome ankle.
The cameras pointed to not only the new blue eyed boy American soccer, but his singer turned fashion designer wife too. Victoria enjoyed the match with her two sons and pal Katie Holmes who turned up with daughter Suri.
The star studded event saw celebrities like Eva Longoria, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Hurt and Ray Winstone. London club’s owner Roman Abramovich made a rare public appearance with girlfriend Daria Zhukova.
Later the evening, Beckhams attended a glistening Welcome party thrown by actors Tom Cruise and Will Smith.
