http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20050401/od_uk_nm/oukoe_soccer_beckham_oddBayern Munich's website has carried what it claims is a dramatic transfer coup -- the signing of England captain David Beckham from Real Madrid.
The club said Beckham had signed a three-year deal with the Bundesliga leaders and would be the club's most expensive signing, hinting at the same 35 million euro (24 million pounds) fee Real paid Manchester United for the midfielder in 2003.

A Bayern spokesman confirmed the story had been an April Fool hoax, without saying why they had settled on the English captain for their prank.
Any other good sports-related April Fools' pranks?
