Obama: Approved of Beckham's line of underwear

Obama: Approved of Beckham's line of underwear

David Beckham proved himself a good sport when US President Barack Obama jokingly tackled him about his age and his line of underwear.

Beckham and his LA Galaxy team-mates were visiting the White House to celebrate winning the Major League Cup last year.

Obama joked that the 37-year-old former England captain was the "young up and comer on the team" and that "half his team mates could be his kids."

"We're getting old, David, though you're holding up better than me," added the President.

"Last year, at the age of 35, David had his best year at MLS, leading the team with 15 assists.

"He did it despite fracturing his spine halfway through the season, injuring his hamstring a week before the championship game.

"He is tough. In fact, it's a rare man who can be that tough on the field and also have his own line of underwear. David Beckham is that man."
