Seriously it was all over. Not even I could come back from that.</p> <p>“And we can confirm that at 23.13 David Beckham’s career passed away.”</p> <p>Lazarus, whose adventures and achievements were chronicled in the Bible, insisted he had consulted ‘all his contacts including those with divine powers’ in hope of saving Beckham – but it was to no avail.</p> <p>The England midfielder enjoyed a hugely successful career with the accumulation of millions of pounds and the odd cup or shield.</p> <p>His association with Lazarus began after he was famously hanged at every in stadium in the land in a show of public dissatisfaction at his ill-time red card against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup.</p> <p>But Beckham recovered strongly to lead Manchester United to the treble that year. His natural flair for resurrection and reinvention gained plaudits from religious fanatics, politicians and celebrities around the world – including the Pope, Peter Mandelson and Madonna.</p> <p>After Beckham’s demise, speculation is now suggesting Lazarus’ career could be over.</p> <p>He has worked with AC Milan for a number of years and is also a close personal friend of former Italian left-back Paolo Maldini.</p> <p>But the resurrection guru has come under increasing pressure in recent years with the death of a number careers and his inability to rehabilitate Brazilian Ronaldinho.</p> <p>More at...</p> <p><a href="http://sportingballs.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">http://sportingballs.wordpress.com/</a> </p>
