Funny old game! Becks turns 45... and plays Pac-Man

- By Jennifer Ruby Showbusine­ss News Editor

CHOOSING a birthday present for a footballin­g superstar can’t be easy.

But David Beckham’s family seem to have scored a winner for his 45th – with a vintage Pac-Man arcade game.

He was pictured playing the 1980s maze-chase classic on his big day while holed up at his Cotswolds mansion.

Beckham was woken up with a birthday bacon butty, made by Cruz, 15, who wrote ‘I love you’ in ketchup on the plate – and also posted a picture of his dad trying to beat his score on the retro arcade game.

Beckham later tucked in to pie and mash sent by mother Sandra from one of his favourite London haunts, Tony’s, and drank a whiskey cocktail.

Wife Victoria, 46, wrapped his gifts with paper bearing his face. They were joined by children Romeo, 17, and Harper, eight. Their eldest Brooklyn, 21, is isolating in the US.
