David Beckham cheers up poorly children

As if his army of female fans needed more proof he was sent from God, David Beckham shows just what a nice guy he is by taking time out of his football tour to visit sick children in hospital.

The footy ace is currently in Australia after jetting in from LA Galaxy's tour of south-east Asia, and spent some of his down time at the Royal Melbourne Children's Hospital.

Becks certainly used his charm to put smiles on faces as he chatted with patients and their parents, posing for photos and signing autographs.

He took a particular shine to five year-old Amelia Ahlsrom (pictured above) who is recovering from a tracheotomy operation, signing her tracheotomy kit box.

But it wasn't just the children who were excited to see Becks – one surgeon in particular turned up wearing a 90s England shirt, getting their hero to sign it.

The visit marks another kind deed for the star, as only last week he visited a centre for homeless children in the Philippines.

Looks like his heart is as big as his talent.
