There's often a lot of surprises on the five-a-side pitch from wonder goals to silly mistakes - but none rank higher than this...

When a group of young footballers took to the five-a-side pitch to try out some new kit they couldn't believe who came bounding on after them asking for a game.

Only David Beckham.

Yep, former England captain, Manchester United and Real Madrid icon. David. Beckham.

On an East London pitch - popping up to surprise the lads and showing them that he still knows how to control a game.

When he shows up the boys shake their heads in disbelief before he takes to the pitch on the side of the red team - his old colour - and despite a few wayward passes he then pings a great ball out from the back.

You never lose it.

Becks was in action after helping redesign the iconic Predator boots which are back with a new-age twist he helped create.

Sports giants adidas have released three new sets of ‘accelerator’ boots that the former England captain created.

The trademark tongue is out, replaced by a popular sock-style with three sets to choose from - red, white and black.

All three have significant meaning for some of Beckham’s most treasured career moments.

The collection - which includes two trainer-like shoes for the ‘street’ and the ‘cage’ - celebrates the twenty-plus year partnership between Beckham and adidas

“When I look back on the best moments of my career, the one defining theme of them all is the adidas Predator,” said Beckham.

“It has always been there, helping me play my best when it mattered most.

“That’s why when adidas offered me the chance to design an updated version of the boot for on-pitch, in the cage and on the street, I absolutely jumped at the chance.”

It is understood Beckham played a central role in creating the collection with concept meetings in London and follow-up design trips to adidas HQ in Germany.

The three shirt numbers synonymous with the former Manchester United , Real Madrid and AC Milan star’s decorated career are marked on the heel of each shoe – 23 on the triple-white ‘Stadium’ boot, 32 on the triple-black ‘Street’ shoe and the famous number 7 on the triple-red ‘Cage’ shoe.

"There are few more longer-standing partnerships in sport than David Beckham’s with adidas and so working with David on his own footwear collection was something we were all extremely excited about," said Sam Handy, the brand's vice president of product design.

"We know that these will be iconic products for so many fans and collectors."

The new collection will be available from selected stores and can be purchased via adidas.com/Predator .
