Soccer superstar David Beckham will retire TONIGHT after playing his last game for Paris Saint-German - in a patriotic pair of boots. He was due to finish his career next week against Lorient, but he will call it a day at the final home game of the season against Brest. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid superstar, 38, announced his retirement from football on Thursday. To commemorate his 21-year career, adidas have marked the occasion by designing a pair of customised Predator LZ boots in red white and blue. The boots have the date of his last home game for the French champions inscribed, as well as the initials of his wife Victoria and the names of his four children: Brooklyn; Romeo; Cruz and Harper. They also include the shirt numbers from Beckham's playing career: seven, 23 and 32. Commenting on his boots, Beckham said: 'This is truly a special moment for me and I'm happy that my longest serving partner, adidas was able to work with me to commemorate the moment. 'What I really wanted to come across was the passion I had playing for my country and the pride that gave me.' Beckham has worn nothing but adidas Predator boots since 1996 which was also the year he announced himself on the Premier League stage with his strike from the halfway line against Wimbledon.
