You are lying, you are not David Beckham
Some cracking names in the Indian Keirin team at the Commonwealth Games – amazing that they’re both on the same team.
Ronaldo Laitonjam is actually named after Brazil star Ronaldinho, who scored that surprise 40 yard free kick against England on the day he was born.
Ronaldo explained: “I think my dad won some money that day. That’s probably why I got that name. He felt I was very lucky for him”.
David Beckham Elkatohchoongo on the other hand, just comes from a Man United supporting family.
He had real trouble getting into the UK last week because an eagle-eyed passport inspector somehow deduced that he wasn’t the real David Beckham.
He told an interviewer: “When I got to the airport, the inspector said, ‘Is that really your name, David Beckham? You are lying, you are not David Beckham.'”
To be fair, he’s nailed the haircut…
