It looks like David Beckham has no plans to dash the reputation he's built for himself as real 'lovely fella' any time soon.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star was in Central London yesterday when he happened upon a cyclist paramedic who was tending to an elderly patient who'd fallen on the pavement.
Senior paramedic Catherine Maynard, who works with London Ambulance Service's Cycle Response Unit, was called out to help the pensioner.
“I was waiting with my patient for an ambulance to transfer him to hospital and although I was keeping him warm it was very cold outside,” she explained. “All of a sudden, I looked up and saw someone who looked like David Beckham walking past us. He said hello and got in his car. I said to the man I was treating, 'I think that was David Beckham'. Ten minutes later, he came back with a cup of coffee for me and a tea for the patient. We were both very amused, and flattered. It was awful cycling around in the cold and I couldn't believe it when he came back with some hot drinks - I was so chuffed.”
Beckham even posed for a photo with Ms. Maynard afterwards which the London Ambulance Service tweeted out.
