Retired footballer David Beckham is reportedly shopping for a London black cab to purchase in order to blend in with fellow drivers.

The 38-year-old, who recently unveiled stadium plans for his MLS franchise in Miami, is a well-known figure around the world for his football and business careers.

According to the Daily Star, in order to stop himself from being so easily recognised, the former Manchester United star is considering buying a black cab for when he runs errands around the city.

Beckham retired from his playing career following a five-month stint at Paris Saint-Germain last season.
