Footballers on Film
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers We all remember that 30 seconds of David Beckham in King Arthur right? Well, let’s just say that is the only thing I remember about the film. Unfortunately that didn’t seem to spark off much of a career in the film industry for him but he isn’t the first …
