David Beckham Descends From Heaven, Rescues Stranded Motorist
By Chris Wright
Upon spotting a knackered Nissan Primera stranded in the middle of the A10 yesterday morning, Saint David Beckham of Leytonstone was only too eager to lend a helping hand.
Mr Paul Long, owner of said Nissan, described to BBC Radio the moment that the clouds parted, choirs of angels burst into voice and Beckham swung low from his seat in heaven to mop the fevered brow of a mere mortal:
“We were on the A10 roundabout, which was pretty dangerous, and had been stuck there for about 10 minutes.
“Eventually I saw a car pull over in the distance and a man in a hoodie got out.
“He pulled the hood down and as he got nearer to the car I realised it was David Beckham.
“He asked if we were OK and I said we’d broken down and could he push us to the side.
“All the way through he was smiling. When we’d pushed the car to safety – and I have to say another man stopped to help by this point – he asked if we were OK and I said: ‘David Beckham, I love you, mate’.”
At which point Beckham summoned his celestial chariot to his side and, under the steam of six gilded unicorns, ascended back into the heavens from whence he came.

nice story, feel though it’s a bit of a PR stunt
I just love how pies makes everything so dramatic. LOL!!
@Rich: Yep, the man’s a walking PR dreamcake.
@Ze Roberto: Thanks, we do try!
Car breaks down, Becks shows up to help…pretty sure I’ve had inappropriate dreams that started this way!
He does come across as a generally nice guy, which as much as people can PR up cannot really be faked. so yeah I think it is legit unfortunately if people found dead bodies under john terry’s patio I would probably think its legit.
Why are people so cynical of Beckham, he didn’t ask the guy to phone into the BBC and tell the story.
I was actually listening to it when the guy phoned in, the program was actually asking people to phone in to moan but I think the guy was so genuinely happy about what happened he felt the need to tell everyone.
Shows Beckham is a good human being who just wants to be a good honest guy and help people whenever he can, well done.
@Rich Why would the most famous sportsman in the world what to carry out a pr stunt.you total twat.
Good form, Princess.
Becks is a good guy, plain and simple. The quintessential English gentlemen.
PR is usually when they send him out in a suit, kit, or complete lack thereof.
When someone’s alleged to have done something terrible, we all say where there’s smoke there’s fire. It can be the same for decency. For many years we’ve all heard so many stories (well if you live in England and/or Spain anyway) about Becks’ being a kind and well mannered person from all kinds of people he’s come in contact with — I’d say in this case, where there’s smoke there’s fire. Plus wouldn’t there have been a convenient pap or ITV crew around if it were PR?
This will never beat NHL Washington Capital’s Brooks Laich’s story :

On his way back from the game where his team were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs, helped a family fix their car tire.
it’s spelt tyre mate
Tire in the US, dude.
Becks is a legend.
[...] That’s some deep ju-ju right there, though Pies can’t argue with Becks’ holy credentials. [...]
