Prompt service

A word in your shell-like. Is Beckham listening to his instructions? Photograph: Reuters

Was David Beckham wearing an earpiece to help him field a press conference in Spanish yesterday, the Sun wonders jokily.

Certainly, Beckham's woolly hat looked like it might have been hiding something, but then so did that sarong, and starting to question why he wears the things he does can only lead to madness. Furthermore, why would you hook yourself up via an earpiece to someone who's just as bad at Spanish as you are? If someone was prompting him, they weren't much help; he just about managed to observe that winning points was "much better for the players".
