England captain David Beckham yesterday joined his former Manchester United team-mates to pay his last respects at a funeral service for a promising Old Trafford striker who died in a car crash.
The Real Madrid star and United manager Sir Alex Ferguson were among those mourning the death of 21-year-old Jimmy Davis, who was killed on the M40 earlier this month. The pair were joined by representatives and players from United and Watford, where the young player had been on a one-year loan, for the service in Redditch, Worcestershire. Around 500 people attended the private service, including Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Phil and Gary Neville, Diego Forlan and Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Beckham, wearing a three-quarter length black mourning suit, white shirt and black tie, arrived at the service in a chauffeur-driven BMW approximately 15 minutes after the coach carrying Sir Alex and his players. Youth footballers from both Old Trafford and Watford were also at the funeral. Davis, an England under-20 international, was killed on the M40 in Oxfordshire on the first day of the Nationwide League season. He was travelling to Watford's Vicarage Road ground for a game against Coventry City when the accident happened. The game was postponed as a mark of respect. ----------------------------------------- Email provided by http://www.ntlhome.com/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
