The village of Llanrhaeadr was star struck on Friday night when global football icon David Beckham made a surprise appearance.

But the former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder’s flying visit didn’t go down too well with the local football club.

The 42-year-old’s chartered helicopter landed on the football pitch and despite being a model celebrity by posing for pictures and taking time to meet locals, it seems he literally left his mark on the pitch!

Following his appearance, the club Tweeted: “Great to see David Beckham in the village! Shame he’s made a big hole in the pitch  ‪#repairworkneeded.”

It is thought the superstar is filming a commercial in the area and fancied a visit to the local Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfalls.

The village can now expect an influx of visitors after he posted a picture on Instagram to his 40 million followers with the caption: “Wow, ridiculously beautiful”.

While the superstar had departed by the time most villagers were alerted, some did manage to grab a picture.

Harri Matthews posted on Twitter (pictured): “I can now say David Backham smells like an absolute angel!”
