贝克汉姆的球迷和中国官员昨日20日在上海同济大学举办商业促销活动引发千人踩踏事件。結果，该促销活动被取消，贝克汉姆被护送远离赛场。事件后，小贝在上海的社会网络上刊文祝愿伤者早日康复。 他说：“今天大家在上海同济大学和我曾应有一个令人难忘却的一天，抱歉，我不能在球场上看到球迷......这是不可想像的、大量的人群。我听说有几个友人受伤了，深深希望球迷都ok，我希望他们早日康复。“
But instead of demonstrating the virtues of good conduct, David Beckham sparked a stampede in Shanghai that left seven people injured - and forced his visit to be cancelled.
Fans stormed the gates of a university football stadium to catch a glimpse of the former England football star on his arrival.

'I was on the second row, wanting to take a photo of Beckham. Every one jostled each other. I wanted to get out of it but couldn’t,' said one female fan caught up in mayhem.
'Then I was pushed towards the gate. People in front of me fell but those from behind continue to push. Then I and others fell too,' she added
The Tongji University said on its website at least two police officers, two security guards and one student were injured in the frenzy.
Video and photos posted online showed shoes, bags and other belongings from the students and fans - many left in tears and shock - scattered beside a fence near the stadium entrance.
The event was immediately cancelled and 38-year-old Beckham was bundled by his body guards out of the stadium to the safety of his limo.

The former Manchester United midfielder is in China on a seven-day tour to promote the Chinese Super League which is blighted by corrupt refs, players and club owners.
A post on Beckham’s microblog on the popular Chinese-language Sina Weibo – China’s Twitter-like social media network - wished the injured speedy recoveries and expressed regret for the cancellation.
‘It was impossible to get through the massive crowds,’ it said.
‘Too crazy,’ said Chu Dan, a Tongji University football player who was hoping to have ‘some interaction on the pitch’ with Beckham.
‘But we didn't expect so many people showing up here - too many fans of Beckham,’ he added.
Estimates of his fee for three week-long visits have ranged from £1.7 million, according to a CSL spokesman quoted in People's Daily to £50 million

Shanghai police have launched an investigation into the incident.
The ex England stalwart, who recently retired from Paris Saint-Germain, was appointed China's Global Ambassador for Football in March.
Estimates of his fee for three week-long visits have ranged from £1.7 million, according to a CSL spokesman quoted in People's Daily to £50 million, according to a report in Italian sports daily La Gazzetta Dello Sport.
Taking the lowest figure, that's £566,000 for each weekly trip - double the amount Manchester United star Wayne Rooney receives.
