Hoddle: ‘Beckham Could End Up At Chelsea’

What’s with the Beckham-Chelsea links again? I mean, I appreciate he’s over 30 so it’s maybe par for the course the press would see that as a strong enough link for a headline – but that doesn’t mean all the would be pundits have to follow suit surely? I suppose the fact that we have [...]
