David Beckham's sending-off in the closing moments of Paris St Germain's match on Sunday night saw him earn headlines across the world for all the wrong reasons.

Considering that "Goldenballs" is usually held in the sort of reverence usually reserved for the Queen Mother, it was actually quite refreshing to see Beckham as a bad boy for a change.

But it's not the first time that the former Manchester United and Real Madrid superstar has had his reputation tarnished.

Here's our pick of the worst moments of Beckham's career, on and off the field - though it has to be said, even at the worst of times he still managed to have perfect hair throughout.

February 2003 - Alex Ferguson kicks a boot at Beckham during a post-match rant in the dressing room following a defeat. Beckham had to be restrained by team-mates even as blood poured from his head, as he wrote in his autobiography:

"I went for the gaffer. I don't know if I've ever lost control like that in my life before. A couple of the lads stood up. I was grabbed by Giggsy first, then by Gary (Neville) and Ruud van Nistelrooy. Suddenly, it was like some mad scene out of a gangster movie."
