DAVID BECKHAM Marines play fake arm joke
David Beckham had a practical joke played on him by the Royal Marines. According to 'The Sun', the England football hero gasped in horror as he shook hands with Marine Ben McBean, only to find the whole arm come away in his hand. But the star’s shock turned to relief as onlookers howled with laughter and he realised he was holding Ben’s prosthetic arm rather than a real one. He chuckled, “You b******s!” before cracking up and adding: “I wasn’t expecting that.” Ben and 30 brave heroes from other braches of the armed forces spent the day with England players at a special event at Arsenal’s training ground at London Colney. Ben (22), who was wounded by an explosion in Afghanistan, revealed he had pulled the same joke on skipper John Terry, and said: “The fake arm trick — it gets them every time.”
