The JOE Friday Pub Quiz: Week 189

Happy birthday to David Beckham.

Tomorrow marks the 45 years since one of the most iconic footballers to don an England and Manchester United shirt was born in the appropriately named Whipps Cross hospital.

Alas, for the Becks fanatics amongst you, there is no round dedicated to the man once dubbed ‘Goldenballs’ here, but there are rounds on general knowledge, food, sport, pixelated movie characters and inventions.

Enjoy the quiz.
