DAVID BECKHAM has finally shown the world his arm in a sling – after secret surgery on a 22-year-old injury.
The Manchester United legend went into hospital for an operation this week, having broken his wrist playing for England all the way back in 2003.

And as he arrived for Inter Miami’s massive clash with Paris Saint-Germain in Atlanta, Becks smiled and gave a thumbs-up.
His Miami side were taking on the Champions League winners in the last 16 of the Club World Cup.
The former Three Lions skipper, 50, looked relaxed and comfortable in a sturdy blue sling matching his suit.
And the protective wear certainly looked more secure than his team’s defence – as Joao Neves headed PSG in front after just seven minutes on the way to a 4-0 half-time lead.
Beckham finishing his playing career with a short spell at PSG in 2013.
And it was a whole 10 years before that that the hero suffered an agonising injury in a 2-1 Three Lions’ friendly win away to South Africa.

Beckham landed awkwardly under the challenge of centre-back Thabang Molefe.
The wideman needed to have his wrist heavily strapped but, despite grimacing, was able to carry on for a while.

Becks was eventually substituted by Jermaine Jenas on 49 minutes and later went to hospital for treatment.
The 115-cap icon hoped and expected that he’d soon be fully healed.
But a recent X-ray found that a screw – placed in his arm at the time to help him – had instead become lodged in his forearm.
That’s because the screw had failed to totally dissolve.
So Becks went in for a new op – with wife Victoria going public on the surgery afterwards by sharing a touching picture and message on Instagram.
The former Spice Girl, 51, showed her husband smiling gently from a hospital bed – with his blue sling in place.
She added the words: “Get well soon daddy”.
A second photo showed Becks’ tattooed hand with a “Get well soon” band round it.
