Beckham to play in NZ

Yahoo/Xtra web page; says: Beckham may play in New Zealand
NZPA Moves are reportedly underway to have English soccer star David Beckham play in New Zealand. The Dominon-Post newspaper reported that new A-League franchise Wellington Phoenix are thought to be in the final stages of negotiations with Beckham's Los Angeles Galaxy club for a match in Wellington in late November. The game in Wellington would piggyback on the Galaxy's match against Sydney FC in Sydney on November 27. The Phoenix have refused to comment, but the newspaper understood they and Sydney FC would each have to play about $A1 million ($NZ1.15 million) for the Beckham show. Whether the Wellington match goes ahead is expected to be announced at a press conference in the capital early next week. Beckham signed a five-year, $US250 million ($NZ348 million) deal this year that took him from Spain's Real Madrid to the Galaxy, who are now cashing in on their investment through exhibition matches around the globe. He has struggled with an injured ankle since joining Galaxy. Copyright: NZPA 2007
