See David Beckham's cameo in 'Goal!'

Want to see the England captain making his first foray into film? Well we've got it here!

Sep 30 2005

'Goal!', the rags-to riches-tale of a poor Mexican kid who becomes a superstar when he plays for Newcastle United in the Premier League, hits UK screens today.

Starring Kuno Becker as twinkle-toed midfielder, the film is the first part in a proposed footballing trilogy, and also features fine turns from the likes of Stephen Dillane, Alessandro Nivola and Anna Friel.

If that weren't enough, there are also cameos from some of the biggest names in world football, including Zinedine Zidane, Raul, Jermaine Jenas and Alan Shearer.

And we've got a clip of the biggest cameo of them all, that of 'Goldenballs' himself, David Beckham.

In Time Out's opinion, the England captain's performance is better then Bryan Robson's appearance in 'Jossie's Giants', but not quite up there with Pelé, Bobby Moore and John Wark's fine turns in 'Escape to Victory'.

To make up your own mind however, simply click on 'David Beckham cameo' and enjoy.
