'Unknown' Beckham kicks off UNICEF tour in PNG

David Beckham has delighted Papua New Guinean villagers by playing in an exhibition match as part of a global charity tour, although the Pacific nation's sports minister admitted "a lot of them don't know who this guy is". The football legend and former England captain travelled to Mount Hagen in the Western Highlands province to kick off a seven-nation trip, taking part in a series of games to raise funds and awareness for the United Nations children agency UNICEF. Sports Minister Justin Tkatchenko told The National newspaper he was humbled PNG was the first port of call for the 40-year-old superstar, one year before his nation hosts the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
