Beckham allows name to be used in 'Bend it like…' musical

David Beckham has given permission for his name and image to be used in a 'Bend It Like Beckham' musical.

The stage show will be an adaptation of the 2002 film of the same name - which was a big hit in the UK and US and made stars of Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra, whose characters play in a women's football league.
