Former England football captain and star David Beckham's income from personal sponsorship deals has reportedly dropped by around 10 per cent in the year since he retired from the sport.
The 2013 accounts for the company that handles Beckham's personal endorsements, Footwork Productions, showed that revenue dropped to 14.8 million pounds from 16.5 million pounds in 2012, reports stuff.co.nz.
The former England captain stopped playing in May 2013 after five months at Paris Saint-Germain, having left Major League Soccer in December 2012 following more than five years at the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Beckham took no pay from PSG, with his salary going to charity.
The Footwork Productions accounts show that the company's main activity is the "exploitation of David Beckham's name and image rights".
Beckham, however, has deals to promote a host of companies, including sportswear firm Adidas, clothing firm H and M and British broadcaster BSkyB.
