At the time, Beckham was playing for LA Galaxy and therefore domiciled in the US for tax purposes. If he travelled to the UK, it could have meant to pay more to HM Revenue and Customs. He did later undertake the visit, (left) but on a more convenient date.

'Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away' star was best friends with Milly Dowler killer Levi Bellfield after meeting when they both worked as bouncers
Brian O'Shaughnessy (right), star of Channel 5 show 'Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away, met Bellfield (together, left) while he was working as a bouncer at a nightclub, and the pair were reportedly good friends for 'five or six years'. Mr O'Shaughnessy, 39, who repossessed cash and goods for courts on the show, was also interviewed by police in 2005 about a joint sex allegation with Bellfield. No suggestion has been made that Mr O'Shaughnessy knew about Bellfield's crimes. Mr O'Shaughnessy has since admitted to having been an 'associate' of the killer, whose actions he called 'disgusting and vile'. Bellfield is currently in jail for life for a number of murders, including Milly Dowler (inset) in 2002 and those of Marsha McDonnell, 19, and Amelie Delagrange, 22.

EXCLUSIVE - 'ISIS want to kill me, capture me and turn me into a sex slave': Danish student branded a terrorist after training as 'Lady Death' sniper to fight jihadis in Syria reveals she has lost everything
A Danish politics student who trained as a sniper to fight Isis in Syria has told how she has 'lost everything' after being labelled a terrorist - and now faces assassination by Isis. Joanna Palani, 23, dropped out of college to join the battle against jihadis in Syria, spending nine-day stretches alone on the frontline with her Russian sniper rifle trained on Isis targets, inset. Now she is in hiding and is facing jail in her adopted country for defying authorities who banned her from fighting jihadis. In an exclusive interview, she told MailOnline why she risked her freedom to fight Isis in Syria, left, her gruelling regime as a crack-shot sniper, and the devastating toll of war on her life. She said: 'I was willing to give up my life and my freedom. But I am seen as a terrorist by my own country.'
