		Becks turns into wax!

Updated 01 March 2002, 12.00

David Beckham's usually a model performer on the pitch, but now he's modelling off the pitch too - for a waxwork at Madame Tussauds.

The England captain will be placed alongside coach Sven Goran Eriksson in a new exhibition at the London tourist attraction.

The waxwork captures the moment when Beckham's last minute free kick against Greece sent England to the World Cup in Korea and Japan.

Real heart throb

Everything has to be just right

And you'll be able to see - and feel - just how tense the moment was because wax-Becks has a beating heart!

It's taken two weeks of extensive sittings to get to this stage.

More than 200 measurements have been taken, as well as matching both the colour of Becks' hair and eyes.
