Children's book based around David Beckham Academy is published 
The four-volume fictional series, comprising Twin Trouble, Le Football, Save The Day and Bossy Boots, is aimed at boys and girls aged seven and up with an interest - surprise, surprise - in football.
Each tome follows the escapades of a different group of youngsters at the former England captain's football academy in Greenwich, south
Two activity books will include ideas for training, including pull-out tactics boards, puzzles and a stats section.
The 34-year-old AC Milan midfielder said: "I'm very pleased that the academy has inspired this series of books, and am hopeful that it will bring more children to reading. 
"The academy is dedicated to the development of all those that attend and these books are a fantastic addition to its scope." 
Beckham opened the academy in 2005 to offer youngsters high-quality coaching and teach them life skills through football.
