David Beckham had barely stopped screaming in pain on the pitch in Rome and already top male models from Milan to New York were walking the runway with a limp. And within hours, boutiques around the world were deluged with order for the exact crutches Beckham was seen using as he left the stadium with a torn Achilles."It wasn't clear what would be the breakthrough fashion item of the season," said GQ fashion editor Ashton Rolle. "But the public will always want to look like a known fashion icon, and David Beckham is bigger than any out there." With Beckham's international soccer career potentially at a close, sources close to the star say he may use his injury and crutches as a transition into post-playing career endorsements. "We are already in talks with Advil and Ben Gay," said Beckham's agent, Jeff Frasco. "And I have a call into Skechers about those old man shoes that Joe Montana is hawking."
