Bayern
Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has suggested
David Beckham is very much in touch with his feminine
side by branding him "a lady".
The Germany legend has questioned the Manchester United
and England midfielder's masculinity and penchant
for the outrageous, after learning that the 27-year-old
had been seen sporting painted fingernails at a recent
social engagement.
"He doesn't look arrogant at all. But he is turning
from a footballer into a lady, especially with his
painted fingernails," said the 47-year-old.
Beckham is universally recognised as a fashion icon
as well as a footballer, and has hit the front-page
headlines as frequently as the back pages for his
cutting edge attire and ever-changing haircuts.
Rummenigge, however, is far from impressed with Beckham's
latest bleached-mullet look and says he should look
no further than his compatriot Rudi Voller as a lesson
in style.
"It is important that people like Rudi's hair,
and they do. In contrast to many others at least he
does have a look," Rummenigge told German magazine
Bunte.
"I believe his adherence to the grey mane is
a fashion statement."
