David Beckham 'given armed bodyguard'

David Beckham has reportedly been given an armed bodyguard because of fears he will be kidnapped.


Beckham, who recently moved to AC Milan for three months, also needs protection from violent fans, the Daily Star says.

A team of 50 security guards will reportedly shadow Beckham and the other AC Milan stars.

"Some of the fans in Milan are pretty wild and need to be kept at a safe distance from the players," a source said. "And fans have been known to invade the training pitch and mob the players. Things can turn pretty nasty."

Mark Wahlberg recently claimed that the Beckhams have ruined his neighbourhood since they moved in because they attract so much attention.
