David Beckham and LA Galaxy Soccer Club
Page: 327
Mr GEORGE SOURIS: My question is directed to the Premier. What is the status of his commitment to provide whatever is needed to bring David Beckham and the LA Galaxy to Sydney? Is the Premier still aggressively chasing the event following the Galaxy's refusal to confirm the visit to Australia?
Mr MORRIS IEMMA: I must start by saying: What do you have against Becks? The member for Upper Hunter derided David Beckham as a has-been. We will not go there. We will not go over Luna Park again. We will not go over Eastern Creek again. Suffice it to say he has been recalled to the England team. That is an outstanding decision on the part of Stephen McClaren, the England coach. The answer to the second part of the member's question is: Stay tuned.
