Victoria Beckham’s awkward encounter with a fan as crude football fans taunted her

Victoria Beckham recalls a surreal moment from the early stages of her relationship with David Beckham in a new Netflix documentary about her husband’s life on and off the pitch

Victoria Beckham has recalled the mortifying time thousands of football fans sang a sexually explicit chant about her as she watched her partner on the pitch.

Speaking in a new Netflix documentary, Posh Spice, 49, reveals the awkward reaction to the X-rated chants from a woman sitting next to her inside the football stadium – laughing at the incident at one point – but admits the cruel taunts from football fans felt “hurtful” and “embarrassing” at the time.

Victoria’s name often popped up in football chants throughout the late nineties thanks to her romance with now husband David Beckham. David was playing for Manchester United and rival football fans would often take aim at Victoria in the terraces with explicit chants about the mum-of-four when visiting Old Trafford.

Following David’s infamous sending off during a last-16 game against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, which England eventually lost on penalties, the dad-of-four found himself public enemy number one and even receiving death threats. The huge backlash towards the future England captain not only left David depressed but saw the chants about Victoria intensify.
