Washington, April 28 : Football star David Beckham has unintentionally started a feud between two families in Hawaii after giving away his match jersey following a friendly match.

The dispute between the families is over which boy is the rightful owner of the jersey.

The English Los Angeles Galaxy star approached the youngsters, aged nine and 10, following an exhibition match at Honolulu's Aloha Stadium last week and handed over his sweaty kit.

The pair's parents are now wrangling over who should keep the shirt - and are threatening to sue each other.

"My suggestion is that the judge get a pair of scissors, cut the thing in half and give half to each," Contactmusic quoted LA Galaxy general manager Alexi Lalas, as saying.
