SOCCER superstar David Beckham rocketed in like a comet yesterday, causing chaos at Melbourne Airport with his LA Galaxy teammates left waiting on a bus. Security guards and police struggled to keep fans and media away from the pin-up boy as they tried to navigate him through the mayhem.
The husband of Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham, oozed rock-star appeal ditching the traditional uniform worn by most of his teammates and donned a beanie, black T-shirt and khaki pants.
Happy fans fell over in the crush and one unlucky fan missed out on an autograph after he gave Beckham a pen that did not work.
"Sorry man," Beckham told him with a raised smile.
But in the midst of a media scrum and excited onlookers armed with cameras and mobile phones, Jess Byrne, who waited for two hours at the airport, managed to get the popular sportsman to sign her football jumper and also get him to pose for a photo.
"He is so nice and so hot," she said.
"He's really good with his fans. He stopped and did a smile for us - he made my day.
"My boyfriend is the biggest fan so I just came along to support him.
"It was awesome and definitely worth it."
Beckham and his teammates are in town to take on the Melbourne Victory at Etihad Stadium on tomorrow night.
Aussie fans could be the last in the world to see Beckham play with the LA Galaxy with him yet to sign a contract for next season.
Beckham will visit the Royal Children's Hospital today as part of his three-day whirlwind trip Down Under.
The soccer great last night dined at George Calombaris's restaurant The Press Club.
