LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
A world full of fans would love to give David Beckham a hug.
But as one overzealous spectator found out, a quick embrace with Becks can come at a price.
During Beckham’s game with the Los Angeles Galaxy against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday in Los Angeles, one fan made his way from the stands to the field, where he sprinted towards the soccer superstar and quickly gave him a hug in the middle of the game.
However, their moment together would prove to be short-lived as Beckham’s teammates quickly intervened.
While Beckham, to his credit, remained relatively calm, fellow Galaxy member Chris Klein (no, not the actor) sprinted to Becks’ aid, separating the ambitious hugger from his object of affection.
The fan, wearing a black t-shirt and jeans, fell to the field as Klein stood over him screaming, before security came over and escorted the unidentified fan from the field.
And for anyone actually interested in the game, the Galaxy beat the Rapids 3-2.
