It is not very often that you hear of celebrities as famous as David Beckham pulling over to help someone push their broken down car to the other side of the road. But a week or so ago, a story out of the UK, had David pulling over to help a stranded family whose car broke down on the way to school.
Beckham pulled over during morning rush hour near a roundabout in the town of Ware in England. He assisted photographer Paul Long and his two children.
Long had been ignored by other motorists before the soccer star came to his rescue. He said Beckham asked if they were OK, and Long said he asked for a push to the side of the road.
Long told BBC Radio on Wednesday he said, "Thanks David, I love you" as the former England captain returned to his car.
Beckham is training with Premier League club Tottenham until Feb. 22. He'll soon return to the Los Angeles Galaxy for the MLS season.
