Baby steps... Little Harper makes her debut at an LA Galaxy game as the Beckham clan rallies together to support David

Daddy's little girl: Victoria Beckham tends to baby Harper during the LA Galaxy match against Chivas USA at the Home Depot Centre, California


She may have been more interested in her bottle than watching her father in action on the pitch.

But David Beckham's daughter Harper was a notable addition to his legion of fans during yesterday's LA Galaxy Awards.

Becks, 36, was on the field at the Home Depot Centre in California taking part in a match against Chivas - while, in their private box, his wife Victoria tended to their little girl.

The look of love: Mrs Beckham holds her daughter up...

...and appears to give her a kiss

Victoria made sure Harper was well protected, keeping her on the right side of the glass in their VIP area, while the Beckham boys, Brookyln, Romeo and Cruz cheered on their father outside in the stands.

Ever the proud, doting mother she fed the 2-month-old milk from her bottle and held her lovingly as the boys kept a keen eye on David.

Also in the stands, bolstering the family's support for David, were the footballer superstar's mother Sandra and his sister Joanna.

Wasn't Mel B the Scary one? Victoria looks a little gloomy - perhaps a little tired from performing her motherly duties

Family affair: Victoria looks after baby Harper while her sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz cheer on their father David

Singing along: David's mother Sandra and his sister Joanna look on as Romeo and Cruz sing the American national anthem before the football match commences

Voice of an angel? Cruz appears to bellow out the anthem, but older brother Romeo doesn't look impressed

The women took charge of the boys as they frolicked and got very involved in the game, even singing the national anthem before the match kicked off.

Sandra and Joanna were like Ying and Yang in their matching, yet opposing, outfits.

Mother Beckham wore a black jacket with a beige top underneath while Joanna, who appeared to have slimmed down somewhat, wore a beige jacket with a black top under it.

Yes!: The Beckham boys jump up excitedly while their aunty Joanna also revels in their happy moment

Celebrating: Romeo and Cruz punch the air as they enjoy their father's performance against Chivas USA

Footballing family: David Beckham is joined on the pitch after LA Galaxy's match yesterday by his sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz

Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, ten, and six-year-old Cruz, surrounded their famous father as they ran on the pitch after the match between La Galaxy and Chivas USA.

Beckham looked every inch the proud dad as he stood next to his boys, hugging them close, kissing them and larking about with Cruz on his shoulders.

And they stood as good as gold as the team handed out its end-of-year awards, which saw Landon Donovan being handed the Golden Boot.

Love you, Daddy! Beckham showers his boys with kisses as he gather round him for hugs

LA Galaxy won the match 1-0 and Beckham's boys were seen hugging each other and jumping up and down in their private box after the goal.

However, if reports are correct, neither the boys or Victoria will be watching any more games there and will probably have to learn a little French.

Beckham's contract with LA Galaxy ends after the current Major League Soccer season and reports last week have suggested that Beckham has been linked to French outfit Paris Saint-Germain.

I want in on that! Cruz goes to join his father who engulfs his oldest two in a hug

He's all mine! Cruz gets a lift on David's shoulders as they walk round the pitch

But Fox News also reported that David is keen to return to Manchester United as a sporting director.

So Beckham's future appears to still be up in the air, even though he himself has suggested that he'll stay in Los Angeles, though will clearly consider what's best for his family.

'My family is the number one priority, family comes first and where they are happy is where I stay, it's that simple. My children go to school in LA and have done for five years,' he said.

He added: 'They are at the age where stability is important, so we'll see. I always said I will wait until the end of the season, see how I feel physically and then decide.'

We won! The brothers hug and dance around as LA Galaxy win 1-0 over Chivas USA

Clock this! David Beckham flashes his $11,000 watch

By Mike Larkin


Global icon: David Beckham smiled as he showed of his new Jacob & Co watch in New York earlier this month

David Beckham has scored a very posh new accessory.

The LA Galaxy midfielder is the proud owner of a Jacob & Co Global 3 watch, which cost an eye-watering $11,000.

The star first showed off the new addition to his collection of expensive timepieces in New York earlier this month.

Of course that is just a drop in the ocean for the wealthy footballer, who is worth an estimated $175 million.

The timepiece comes with a host of features the star will find handy.

It displays five different time zones, New York, LA, Tokyo and Paris, as well as the local time.

And no doubt the beach-loving athlete will love the fact it is water resistant at depths of up to 50 metres.

Diamonds are forever: Macho David loved wearing his bling heavy Jacob & Co watch with his glittering earrings

He's at it again: David showing off another fancy timepiece from the company

Perhaps his new watch even offers a hint his proposed move to Paris Saint-Germain is far more likely than a return to Manchester United or Arsenal, as if ends up in French capital he will not even change the time.

It also will appeal to the star, as it rates high on the bling scale.

It has an expensive alligator skin strap, silver plated dial and a 18 carat rose gold bezel.

He will not even have to worry about having to pay to have it fixed if it breaks down, as it comes with a two-year warranty.

She loves them too: Victoria's fancy watch comes in handy when she is counting down the minutes during an LA Galaxy match

David and his wife Victoria are huge fans of the exclusive brand, and have been pictured on numerous occasions wearing their watches.

Company founder Jacob Arabo said: 'It's always a pleasure to have David Beckham in our store.

'He has been a huge supporter of the brand since the beginning and he and his wife have become dear friends.'

He loves to watch: David donned another fancy timepiece when he caught a Los Angeles Lakers game earlier this year with his chum Gordon Ramsay

Where's his watch? While David's timepiece was not visible as he drove around in Los Angeles he does wear it on his other arm

'Harper's turning me grey': David Beckham says the worry of having a daughter is ageing him

By Alanah Eriksen


He showed she is the apple of his eye when he tattooed her name on his collarbone soon after she was born.

But that doesn't mean Harper Seven isn't giving David Beckham a few grey hairs - literally.

The football heart-throb showed he was human after all as he spoke about getting older.

Growing old: David Beckham graces the Wall Street Journal Magazine cover, telling the publication his daughter was making him turn grey


'Got my first grey a few years ago, and a couple more since we've had the little girl,' he told the Wall Street Journal Magazine.

'I definitely feel different than I did 10 years ago.

'It takes a while for the Achilles to warm up. Once I've had my coffee, I'm good.'
The 36-year-old graces the cover of the magazine, striking a pose reminiscent of Auguste Rodin's The Thinker sculpture.

David, seen over the weekend, claims he is going grey

His fashion designer wife Victoria was obviously very proud of the sexy picture as she shared a link to the srory on her Twitter page, along with the comment: 'AMAZING!!!! X VB'.

The England legend was seen uncharacteristically losing his cool over the weekend at Real Salt Lake's manager Jason Kreis at the Home Depot Stadium in Carson, California.

As his three boys, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz looked on, the LA Galaxy star was seen pointing in his face and had to be pushed back as other players joined the fracas.

Haven't we seen that pose somewhere before? The football star's look was reminiscent of Auguste Rodin's The Thinker sculpture

Heated: David lost his cool at Real Salt Lake head coach Jason Kreis after the LA Galaxy game on the weekend as his sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz watched

David also talked about Harper while promoting his new fragrance, Homme by David Beckham, recently in Beverly Hills.

He said the three-month old was already sleeping through the night and is "a lot calmer" than his boys were at that age.

Harper's three brothers are also on dad's side when it comes to her eventual dating life.

Beckham says he plans to be 'overprotective in every way possible' and his sons will be 'exactly the same'.

He says his boys will take her to and from her dates, and he will answer the door when she gets home.

We are stars too! The boys attended the premiere of the Real Steal film premiere in Los Angeles last night with their grandfather Ted Beckham

David also told WSJ that the riots in London were 'disgusting'.

'The problem is, there is a minority of youth today in England who are not scared of authority. If they steal something, they are not worried about the consequences.

'When I was a kid growing up I respected elders, I respected the law. If I was on a bus and an elderly lady got on, I would stand up and let her sit down. That doesn't happen these days.

'We've got the Olympics next year and these pictures are being seen all around the world. It makes me feel physically sick.'

What will Victoria say? David Beckham loses his cool in front of their boys at Galaxy match

By Amelia Proud


He's the epitome of cool, a gentleman on the pitch and an exemplary ambassador off it, but David Beckham lost his cool tonight.

And it must've been justified, as the 36-year-old sporting hero blew a gasket in front of his three young sons.

Angry man: David Beckham lost his cool during LA Galaxy's win over Salt Lake City tonight

It was a big night for them, as Brooklyn, 12 , nine-year-old Romeo and Cruz, six , got to be mascots for the match.

They joined a cavalcade of other children, distinguished not by starry or brattish behaviour but merely by their number 23, Beckham shirts.

It was a great night for their father, too, as he set up both goals that secured another victory for LA Galaxy at the Home Depot stadium, where they are unbeaten.

Chad Barrett tied the score in the 59th minute following a pass into the box by Beckham.

Row: The England star argues with Salt Lake's manager Jason Kreis


Galaxy then went ahead in the 72nd minute courtesy of an own-goal from the opposition, Real Salt Lake City, which originated from one of Beckham's trademark free kicks.

But it wasn't before the England legend exchanged sharp words with Real's manager, Jason Kreis.

Goalkeeper Nick Rimando of Real Salt Lake joined the fracas, before it was dispersed.

But then, no-one can doubt Beckham's passion for the beautiful game.

Honoured: Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz seemed delighted to welcome the teams onto the pitch

Spot the celebrity children: The Beckham boys were happy to muck in with their contemporaries

He continues committed to playing football at a level he hopes will see him in contention for an England place again, and

But he will remain playing football in the U.S. for the moment after rejecting an offer from his ex-boss Sven Goran Eriksson to join Leicester City.

The former England boss said that Beckham had turned down his offer to play for Leicester because the city was not fit enough for his wife Victoria.

Proud: All three boys wore their father's number on their shirts

Responsible: Big brother Brooklyn watches over his younger siblings

Looker: Romeo has his father's mega-watt smile

Spend it like Beckham! Chic David goes undercover as scruffy store worker and tries to sell his aftershave in TV skit

By Mike Larkin


SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO...

Who is that? David Beckham was almost unrecognisable in his disguise for a skit on Ellen today


Many people think David Beckham would do almost anything to sell his after shave.

But he took it to a whole new level today after going undercover as a Target employee as an fragrance salesman.

The LA Galaxy super star donned a store uniform, baseball cap and unfashionable glasses as he tried to hawk his Homme cologne at a branch of the discount store in Hollywood.


Footballer David is famous for spraying majestic cross-field passes, but he was trying to spray customers with his scent as he tried his hardest to make a few sales.

The midfielder was just playing for laughs as part of a skit on Ellen DeGeneres's popular US talk show.

The charismatic former Manchester United star looked far from his usual hunky self in his unflattering ensemble, and no doubt his famously high-pitched voice made approaching customers even more difficult.

Ellen controlled what the footballer said and did by issuing instructions through a speaker in his hat.

No smelling sticks David? The star made women sniff the aftershave on his leg

He's at it again: But his unique selling style was not having the desired effect


He pretended he was Ricky, an Australian supermarket worker who had been tasked with selling the fragrance.

As one customer stopped to take a sniff, he told her 'actually, let me spray it on my leg. It smells so much better.'

And moments later he sparked howls of laughter from the audience when he was misspoke the phrase 'rustic scent' as 'a very rough extent' as he tried to continue his sales pitch.

He then tried to explain his accent away to locals by saying, 'I'm, from Australia,' but he was almost rumbled when a customer told him he sounded 'very English.'

'Howdy partner': Rhinestone cowboy David screamed out in a thoroughly unconvincing accent


The 115-times capped England international then tried to portray a Texan accent by screaming 'howdy partner,' at the top of his lungs but admitted beforehand he 'wasn't very good at it.'

When a lady said she liked David Beckham and that he looked like him, he replied, 'I wish I looked like him.'

When he asked if he sounded like him the eagle-eyed lady said he was him, but he tried to stop her from rumbling his ruse by denying it.

When she continued to protest he added: 'I am not David Beckham, stop spreading rumours.'

Where's Duncan Bannatyne when you need him? David could have done with some selling tips after his pitch fell flat


Evil genius: Ellen fed David lines from her comfy chair in the studio

His sales pitch was rapidly going downhill, and he even tried to serenade a woman into taking a sniff by bursting into a refrain of the Chris de Burgh classic Lady In Red, but it was unsuccessful.

David's performance was drawing him ever nearer to an early bath, especially when he again mistook the phrase 'if you stink come buy cologne,' for 'if you think come buy cologne.'

He tried to recover by turning the phrase into an impromptu football chant.

When some men finally approached him for a smell of his fragrance he almost blew it by spraying the trio in the face.

Watch out David's about: Beckham relives his favourite Jeremy Beadle memories by taking off his disguise


David was getting desperate, and he even told someone to 'stick it in your pocket, nobody is looking. It's a small box,' and even put it in the man's pockets despite his protests.

Ellen decided it was time for him to be given the red card, and ordered him to take his hat and glasses off after he was challenged again on his identity.

However there was still time for one last blunder, as instead of explaining he was appearing on the show 'switcheroo,' he said he was starring in 'chicheroo.'

No doubt the fashion conscious former England captain was relieved when he was able to put on his own clothes again when filming was finished.


Starting her young: Comedienne Ellen DeGeneres presented David with a mini LA Galaxy tracksuit for his new daughter Harper


It was a hugely different way of trying to sell a fragrance than the hunk's recent advertisement for the aftershave, which 'encapsulates the spirit of David.'

He showed off his athletic body when he posed and ran around topless topless in the advert in July.

Later on David appeared on the show, and Ellen DeGeneres soon turned the conversation to more personal matters.

And the father-of-four admitted he would love to have more children with his former Spice Girl wife Victoria.


That's the way to do it: David sells his own fragrance by baring his body


He said if they 'were lucky enough to have another one' they would be very happy about it.

The former Real Madrid star added: 'We always spoke about having a big family. We love children.

'We are very blessed to have four healthy children so if one comes along that would be amazing.'

Comedienne Ellen then asked if having seven family members would make it more special, as it is the shirt number he has worn for most of his career.

David said: 'Yes. What can say, I love the number seven.'

Ellen then gave David a pink LA Galaxy tracksuit with his number on it for baby daughter Harper, who was born in July.

Their parents must be so proud! Beckham boys show respect for 9/11 victims

By Daily Mail Reporter


God Bless America: The Beckham boys showed their respect during a minute of silence for 9/11 victims at Los Angeles Galaxy v Colorado Rapids at the Home Depot Center, Carson, California tonight


They've been known to use the stands at the Home Depot to lark around while their father plays for L.A Galaxy, but tonight the Beckham boys showed just how mature they can be.

With David, 36 , occupied by matters on the pitch and their 37-year-old mother in New York, the trio needed no supervision - or encouragement, for that matter - to engage in a heartwarming show of respect for the victims of 9/11 during a one minute silence.

Only Brooklyn, 12 , had been born on that terrible day, with Romeo, 9 , and Cruz, 6 , soon to follow him, but even the eldest Beckham progeny, still living in England at that stage, was surely too young to comprehend the ramifications of those planes crashing into the Twin Towers.


The fact that he so obviously does now, along with his two brothers, is testament to the parenting skills of his famous parents.

It's rare for children born into both wealth and limelight to be aware of society in a greater sense, let alone of their place in history.

All three behave like normal, playful young men with manners, a far cry from the brattish offspring of other celebrity stalwarts.

They've also aligned themselves strongly to their adopted country.

The trio speak with an American twang that their father admits he still finds surprising.

He paid tribute tonight by wearing an armband to mark the tenth anniversary of the atrocity.

Victoria is certain to be proud of her boys when she sees these pictures.

The fashion designer is spending time with daughter Harper in New York, and today showed off the tot - who was born in July - as she walked about the city.

The former Spice Girl is due to show her Spring/Summer 2012 designs this Sunday at the New York Public Library.

Victoria gave a hint of what can be expected from the collection and said she had tried to create 'the perfect little summer dress, something that was fun, something that was girly, something that was easy to wear, something that would take you from day through the night.'

Proud parents Victoria and David Beckham can't get enough of baby Harper as they introduce her to their celebrity lifestyle

By Simon Cable and Sarah Bull


Proud parents: David Beckham was seen cradling little Harper over the weekend while Victoria kept her newborn daughter close to her chest on a trip to The Grove in Los Angeles yesterday


She is only eight weeks old but already Harper Seven Beckham is following in her mother’s footsteps - straight to the most exclusive shops.

The latest addition to the Beckham clan was cradled by her father David as they visited upmarket baby boutique Bonpoint over the weekend, where babygrows sell for £150-plus.

And yesterday, Victoria was spotted giving her gorgeous little girl a cuddle as she and her sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and six-year-old Cruz headed to The Grove to introduce Harper to the celebrity lifestyle.

Come on little one! Victoria picks up her eight-week old little girl out of her buggy as they arrive at their destination

Victoria teamed her black dress with a pair of flat black pumps, apparently having decided to heed doctors' advice to ditch the heels because of a painful back condition. The day before, Victoria had donned six-inch Christian Louboutin heels while David held baby Harper.

She is said to have slipped a disc while she was pregnant, after continuing to wear high heels even in the latter stages of expecting.

The injury was said to have been exacerbated by the caesarean operation for Harper’s birth in Los Angeles, where former England captain David now plays his football.

Victoria, 37, was nevertheless able to show off an enviable figure in her black minidress and matching cardigan just a short while after giving birth.

The Spice Girl turned fashion designer is due to showcase her Spring/Summer 2012 collection at New York Fashion Week next week, and is said to have been getting in shape for the launch by adopting the Five Hands Diet.

It involves eating five handful-sized portions of high-protein food daily, including smoked salmon, yellowfin tuna sushi and scrambled eggs.

According to some reports, Victoria is already back down to a tiny US size zero (British size 4).

Speaking recently about how she stays in shape, mother-of-four Victoria said: '[I run] Four, five miles every day on the treadmill. For me, I like the fact that, mentally, I can get off whenever I want.'

Careful! Victoria handed Harper to her nine-year-old brother Romeo, who looked incredibly proud to be carrying his baby sister

Sticking to flats: Victoria has apparently been advised by doctors to give herself a rest from high heels due to a painful back condition


But passionate designer Victoria is no doubt looking forward to getting back to work with the New York showcase.

In an interview earlier this year, Victoria said while things are more than a little busy in her life, she wouldn't change it.

She explained: 'As any working mum out there knows, it really is like juggling glass balls when you’ve got the kids and a husband to look after, and you’re passionate about your career. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m blessed.'


How high? The day before, Posh was seen wearing a pair of extremely high Christian Louboutin heels for a trip to the shops with David, Brooklyn and Harper
