Nice to see someone with a sense of humour...
"A David Beckham impersonator caused havoc after calling the office of Barcelona presidential favourite Joan Laporta.
Paul Mansley spoke to an aide of Laporta's to ask a few searching questions about 'his' impending move to the Nou Camp.
Top of the list were inquiries about whether he could wear his Alice band and how many Gucci shops there were in the city.
But the piece de resistance came when 20-year-old Mansley asked: "How do you spell Barcelona? I need to know for my tattoo."
The hoax was eventually rumbled, before Mansley could request that Victoria's songs be played before every home game.
Which would surely have killed off all thoughts of any transfer"
