Ask someone in Asia or Europe a decade ago what they knew about the Galaxy, and odds are the answer would have been limited to planets or stars. Nowadays, it's likely to include a reference to "Beckham's team," the Major League Soccer franchise in Los Angeles.

Paris, Apr 16 (EFE).- English midfielder David Beckham, the biggest star ever signed by Paris Saint-Germain, plans to donate the salary from his time with the French club to Necker Children's Hospital in Paris, the press reported Tuesday. The teaching hospital specializes in treating rare diseases and infections, the Le Parisien newspaper said. The soccer star also plans to donate money to a second charity that has not yet been identified publicly.

David Beckham says he has not yet relinquished hope of resurrecting his England career, despite having not played for his country for almost three and a half years. The 37-year-old returned to European football with Paris Saint-Germain in January and hopes to feature in the Ligue 1 leaders' Champions League clash with Barcelona on Tuesday. Beckham's contract is due to expire at the end of the season but with PSG having expressed a desire to extend his deal, the former England captain says he still dreams of a return to the national set-up.

David Beckham returned to the scene of his infamous 1998 World Cup red card horror show on Sunday, but was unable to inspire his Paris Saint-Germain team to victory in a 2-2 draw with Saint-Etienne. Beckham was sent-off for kicking out at Diego Simeone early in the second half of England's 1998 World Cup last-16 clash against Argentina at Saint-Etienne's Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, a match which the South Americans won on penalties.
