Girls
swooned, children ran around screaming, men stared and old ladies
had to have a sit down.
Why? Because they saw 'goldenballs' himself, David Beckham, doing
a spot of shopping in Stoke-on-Trent!
So could Becks really be swapping Paris for the Potteries, the Champs
Elysees for Hanley High Street?

Beckham...
in Hanley?
See what you think of Luke's similarity in our photo gallery...

Spec-tacular
He popped into a department store, looked at sunglasses and even
checked out the deals on Spanish holidays in the travel agents…
Surely
Beckham isn't thinking of signing for Stoke City or Port Vale?
Well
probably not.
Because
surprisingly, this isn't the real David Beckham. He's in Madrid.
This is Luke Lightwood, a David Beckham lookalike from Stafford.
'High
maintenance'
As
you can imagine, being a lookalike takes quite a bit of personal care;
David Beckham is a highly pruned specimen of a man who does like to
change his hair, tattoos and general style on a regular basis.
And
at the moment Luke is a bit behind…he's still on the longer
bleached blond hair of a couple of months ago.

Beckham
ponders: "I hope this Luke Lightwood can't play football,
otherwise I'll definitely be out of a job!"
|
He's
willing to shave it off though if he gets a few jobs, and even says
he'll wear a sarong!
And
in preparation for his new persona, Luke's been doing his research;
he bought Beckham's autobiography to look at photos, practise that
smouldering pose, and learn a bit about his double's history.
Multi-talented...
But he's not just a Beckham lookalike, Luke's also an artist and a
chef…and he does enjoy a kick about (in midfield obviously).
Although
he might have to change allegiance from his current team, Aston
Villa.
And
the similarities are endless… Luke also has a long distance
relationship, his girlfriend is in New Zealand for six months, but
he assured us that there aren't any baby Staffords or Longtons on
the way!
