David doesn't have a particularly muscley physique but very few footballers do. They need to be lean and agile and that's not possible if you're weighed down with bulging biceps and pulsating pectorals. However, his body is very toned and if you'd be hard pushed to find an ounce of fat on him. Remember those beach photographs in the summer of 2005 when he sported a tiny pair of Speedos? There's not much more to say.

Despite his love of the camera, he was once the most likeable man in Britain. However, his alleged affair with Rebecca Loos along with several other tabloid stories have undoubtedly damaged his image. Nevertheless, the fallout could have and probably should have been much worse. Usually a cheating celebrity husband is vilified by the media. But David has managed to still come out smiling. It seems our unfavorable and wholly unfair view of his wife Victoria has saved David from following Darren Day into the sewer of the love rat.

David may not be amongst the greatest footballers of all time, but nobody else can match his earning power or his popularity. Although his club Real Madrid pays him around £100,000 per week, these earnings are dwarfed by his off the field activities He has some of the biggest sponsorship deals in the world with companies such as Adidas and Gillette. When he retires from the game he'll never need to work again, which is quite an achievement considering his extravagant lifestyle.
