HE’S 37 YEARS OLD now – and he’s now wearing an odd fuschia-coloured boot that Alex Ferguson wouldn’t approve of – but David Beckham rolled back the years in Montreal last night.

The Londoner put away this trademark free kick during LA Galaxy’s 1-1 draw away at Montreal Impact, in front of a crowd of 60,860 – the largest crowd ever to attend a professional soccer match in Canada.

Robbie Keane played the full 90 minutes for Galaxy, getting one of his four shots on target.
