Becks says he's in Milan for football, not fashion

London, Dec 21 (ANI): David Beckham has been a trendsetter for a decade but the soccer ace insists that he is in Milan for football, and not fashion.

Beckham, who is married to fashion icon Victoria Beckham, said Milan's status as a fashion capital did not enter into his decision.

"Fashion had nothing to do with my choice in coming to Milan," the Sun quoted him, as saying.

"The red and black shirt was everything.

"It was an idea I had and I wanted to find out if it was possible.

"I didn't know whether Milan and Mr Galliani would accept.

"It was a dream at first but when I asked the question it became reality.

"It's a dream come true but definitely not about the fashion even though it's a beautiful place," he added. (ANI)
