David Beckham left ‘clinically depressed’ over hate he received for infamous red card moment

Victoria Beckham revealed her husband had been left depressed when he was publicly bullied after England lost out to Argentina in the 1998 World Cup

David Beckham was left “clinically depressed” over the horrific “public bullying” he was subjected to after England’s defeat against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup. Wife Victoria has said that “she still wants to kill” those lashed out at her husband with vitriol over his now-infamous red carpet moment, which which led to England losing on penalties.

The 49-year-old fashion designer detailed how David became clinically depressed from the hate after the game when he received hate from fans. Recalling the barrage of abuse that followed, she said: “I mean, the absolute hate, the public bullying, to another level. He was depressed, absolutely clinically depressed. I still want to kill these people.”

It had been the moment Posh Spice told her now husband David she was pregnant with their eldest son, Brooklyn. She made the call while she was in Brooklyn, New York, cementing the name of their child – who is now married to Nicola Peltz.

According to Victoria, David was adamant about leaving the game to be with her after she told him the good news. Speaking to the camera, she said: “I told David the night before the game. He was so, so happy, we both were and there was never any doubt in my mind that I should tell him. I mean, it was what we wanted and he could not have been happier.”
