David Beckham interview: ‘People know the stories, but they’ve never heard my side’

Ahead of his Netflix documentary, David Beckham gives exclusive insight into his career, his family and that bust-up with Alex Ferguson

David Beckham saw his life flash before his eyes recently. He wasn’t sure what to make of it. ‘I needed a second opinion,’ he says, ‘and obviously Victoria and I have been together for 26 years, and I trust her opinion more than anyone else’s…’ And so husband and wife watched it again, together.

When they got to the end, they looked at each other in quiet amazement. Beckham felt utterly exhausted. ‘We were like, “Oh my God, we have done a lot.”‘

It surprised him, ‘what a roller coaster it was, and it made me feel tired because of everything we’ve done in such a short space of time’. Victoria agreed. It has indeed been busy, she said. But also, in case he’d missed it, ‘We were really cute. We are really cute together.’ Beckham laughs. ‘I think that really comes across.’

To be clear, lest the British luxury goods economy fall catatonic at the idea the Beckhams may have flirted with death, they were simply watching an early cut of a new Netflix documentary series, the Ronseal-titled Beckham.
