David Beckham purchases pumpkin

Man with scruffy beard and tattoos prepares to entertain children

Halloween festivities are kicking off very early in the Beckham household. Becks was photographed hugging a large pumpkin at a pumpkin patch in California, despite the fact that Halloween is still more than a week away. Perhaps his spectacular Gary Neville-themed pumpkin is going to take a large amount of preparation.

The ex-England skipper also picked up a few smaller pumpkins to keep the kids entertained while he gets down to business.
