MAGICAL Just like a lucky rabbit's foot, AC Milan players grope Becks before games. Never mind the furor over where he's gonna live. David Beckham has charm, and also apparently is one!
According to the superstitious Italian soccer mates of the 33 year-old, they believe some of his good luck rubs off on them by touching his butt.
Indeed, Beckham's new Milan teammates have been caught on-field, on-camera with their hands all over his posh hiney.
And would you believe it! Beckham scored a goal in his 1st game with the team -- and they have not lost a match since.
On loan from LA for 3 months, Beckham told press, "I can't say what will happen, even if my contract says I'll be here until March."
"At the moment I'm enjoying the experience. I'm at one of the biggest clubs in the world. It's great to score my first goal. I'll certainly be keeping this jersey."
Well, at least soccer players finally have a use for their hands.
