David Beckham has to hide from over zealous mothers at his sons' soccer training.

The sportsman has recently started hiding when he takes his kids Romeo, 10 and seven-year-old Cruz to their soccer games in Los Angeles because the under-10 girls team and their mothers accost him for pictures and autographs every time.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "David takes Romeo and Cruz to football in Los Angeles at the same club where the under-10 girls team play.

"The girls and their mums jump on him, wanting hugs, autographs, photos.

"One cheeky little girl even asked for his T-shirt off his back.

While David is uncomfortable with the attention, his wife Victoria - with whom he also has son Brooklyn, 13 and daughter Harper, 14 months - isn't jealous and finds it funny.

The insider added: "It's all too much for him, although Victoria finds it hilarious."

They are not the only people to find David attractive, comedian Russell Brand recently revealed he thinks the soccer star is a "god".

He said: "David Beckham is a god. Just look at him in those underwear ads. I'm not gay but I would eat food off his body. Preferably something that needs to be mopped up, like egg. I'd eat it off his stomach."
