Beckham lands in Australia

---

SYDNEY, Nov 25 (AFP): Football superstar David Beckham flew into Australia Thursday for an exhibition game with his team LA Galaxy, but minus his popstar wife Victoria who opted to stay at home.
The former England captain said he was "honoured" to be in Australia for this weekend's game against former A-League champions Newcastle Jets at their 26,000-capacity stadium north of Sydney.
"We're honoured to be here, this is something the players have talked about and are excited about," said Beckham, 35. "We're here to enjoy ourselves but also here to perform as well and hopefully win."
