David Beckham left a £450 tip for a waitress in a Los Angeles bar, according to the Daily Star.

The 32-year-old LA Galaxy midfielder was celebrating with his teammates at Joxer Daly's bar after they beat Hollywood United 12-4 in a charity game.

Waitress Claudia Belden is quoted as saying: "David only drank mineral water. He signed autographs for anyone who asked. He smelled so nice! I hugged him so tight and he didn't mind at all."

Beckham's bill amounted to $100, but the former Manchester United midfielder was in generous mood, leaving behind $1,000.

"David certainly tips well, usually because of good service," said Beckham's spokesman.
