Man Wants Beckham’s Bathrobe for $1,700

A Japanese fan of football star David Beckham offered a hotel £1,000 ($1,700) to take away a bathrobe worn by the England skipper before the England-Uruguay match, it was reported yesterday.

Staff at the Radisson SAS hotel in Liverpool, northwest Britain, declined the request. Beckham spent three nights at the hotel with the rest of the squad before the friendly.
