Bruce Arena’s Los Angeles Galaxy take on Mehmet Durakovic’s Melbourne Victory on Tuesday, Dec. 6 at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne (kickoff: 12:30 a.m. PT/3:30 a.m. ET/7:30 p.m. AEST, Fox Soccer Channel and Fox Sports 1), and the fans in Victoria’s sporting capital flocked to see David Beckham one last time.

The midfielder paid a visit to Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital to see some sick kids, signing autographs and shaking hands with many nurses.

Later that night, celebrated local chef by the name of George Calombaris cooked dinner for Beckham at the Press Club restaurant. For Calombaris, it was an honor.

"We've had the Prime Minister, recently Sarah Jessica Parker, but this for me is the ultimate,” Calombaris told the Melbourne Herald Sun. "Football is my passion. I always said if I wasn't going to be a chef I would have been a footballer. But I was just no good at playing it, hence I'm a chef.

“It's exciting for myself and my staff knowing someone of that calibre was coming in."
