My late grandfather believed that football legend David Beckham was a distant relative on his side of our family tree, saying Becks' mother was related to one of his cousins who lived in Chingford. My investigation on Ancestry.co.uk has so far failed to uncover a link to the former Manchester United star, but I'll keep looking.
Beckham's late grandfather was an ardent fan of my team - Tottenham Hotspur - and I'm hoping Becks signs for Spurs in January after finishing his stint at L.A. Galaxy.
