SWEET, isn’t it, to think of David Beckham spending his evenings playing with Lego. It calms him down, he says, and it’s a good thing to do with his sons.
His latest, he said in an interview at the weekend, was a model of Tower Bridge, complete with traffic, that cost £209 and had 4,287 pieces and 172 pages of instructions – which would make most of us give up before we began.
He must be amazingly patient and determined to wade through that lot, even with the help of his boys. Better than all of them in separate rooms on separate computer games too.
What’s the betting that complicated Lego sets now soar in popularity.
The perfect consolation prize: if you’re never going to be a world class footballer, at least you can still sort those little bricks out and build it like Beckham.
