David Beckham Was Born In The Most Perfectly Named Hospital, Ever

David Beckham Was Born In The Most Perfectly Named Hospital, Ever

No, we're not making this up

David Beckham. Lovely, gorgeous, great at free-kicks, wearing Adidas Predators and advertising whiskey David Beckham. The bloke who made us all think wearing an Alice band was fine (still regretting mine, tbh) and that wingers didn't need pace but could just rely on being dead good at crossing from deep or, when they couldn't even be arsed doing that, just passing to an 'overlapping like an over eager Jack Russell' Gary Neville to do the rest.

Anyway, the reason I'm waxing lyrical about the greatest England captain of the 21st century (fight me) is that, thanks to the lads at Mundial Magazine, we've discovered which hospital Golden Balls was born at.

Now, that might sound like the most mundane 'who gives a shiny shite?' story you're likely to hear all day, but it's the name of the hospital which is, quite frankly, mind bending.

Because David Robert Joseph Beckham OBE was born at WHIPPS CROSS UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL.

WHIPPS...CROSS...UNIVERSITY...HOSPITAL.

WHIPPS...CROSS.

Has there ever been a footballer born at a more aptly named facility?






One lad wasn't too impressed, like:


Do you know of any other footballing A-Listers that were born at a hospital named after their signature move? If so, please let us know as it's quickly become our new favourite thing.
