It seems Sir David-in-waiting’s latest goal - to appear on The Simpsons - is to be as cruelly denied him as, inevitably, will any dream of lifting the World Cup. Having previously played a blinder on Sesame Street, it’s claimed he hoped to make the Springfield United team, running out in Homer’s cartoon strip. And why not? Isn’t a gig on The Simpsons, with its huge global audience, the ultimate self-promotional coup? Whether the idea was entirely his, or a cunning stunt planned by some brand-building Lady Macbeth indoors, England’s national treasure reportedly contacted the show and gallantly offered his services, only to be politely knocked back by executive producer, Al Jean, on the grounds that David who? is ‘not a big enough star for an American audience’. Less worthy, even, than past cameos The Olsen Twins or Weird Al Jankovic? The humiliation! It’s enough to make Goldenballs wince as if hard man Vinnie Jones just grabbed him, Gazza-style, in the penalty area ...if he could locate his tackle. Posh would surely rebuff current cruel speculation that hubby's allegedly retouched packet, as seen on billboards worldwide, is inversely proportionate to his pay-packet
