PHOTO: Next stop, David Beckham! London Tube honours FA with special map

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of each organization, the English Football Association (FA) and the London Underground have teamed up to create a reworked map of the Tube, replacing the 367 station names with famous footballers, managers and officials from the footballing world.

For example, Leytonstone station has become David Beckham, while Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp takes over the name at Highbury and Islington station.

The Daily Mail has broken down each section of the map, providing a larger view that you can see here.

Michael Owen, who is an ambassador for the FA's 150th anniversary celebrations, discusses the map on the FA's official website:

“I think the football-themed Tube map is a great way to celebrate the 150th anniversary of both the London Underground and the Football Association.

“I am absolutely delighted to be included at Oxford Circus.”

In addition, each of the 14 lines has been given a special theme, including the Circus line, which has been dedicated to the 'Giants of the World Cup' and the Overground line, which honours players from overseas who have had a major impact on the English game.
