David Beckham, Writer

Is there anything our David cannot do? He is reportedly going to write a children's book following a deal with a UK publisher.

The books will be launched in July 2009 and will be a series of fictitious chapter books geared at 7-9 year olds. Each book will be about a different student at the Academy as they learn about life and football. The books will also have an interactive element and include games, puzzles, soccer statistics and more.

"We instantly recognised the opportunity to reach young readers in a fun and accessible way through The David Beckham Academy," Sam Sweeny, a representative from Egmont said in a statement earlier today. "Our range of books will really capture the passion that children of this age feel about football and will have broad appeal. The David Beckham Academy values and setting make it the perfect match with our fiction and activity lines."

I doubt if he will be the next JK Rowling but David is one of a kind among soccer players. Imagine, David is going to be a writer? If that is not multi-talented, I don't know what is.

Let's hope that that Cristiano Ronaldo will not imitate this project hehe.
