Unusual hobby
Beckham admits that playing with “sticky things” is one of his favorite pastimes.

Legend spoke candidly at the start of the documentary about his and his wife Victoria’s sense of humor. On the vast grounds of his home you can see beehives that produce fresh and delicious honey.
Not allowed to attend the World Cup due to unusual outfit
Just before the 1996 World Cup, the English press had a reason to practice football’s biggest star: Beckham, dressed in a Jean-Paul Gaultier sarong, was spotted at a private party.
Presumably, it was because of the extraordinary outfit that the head coach of the national team, Glenn Hoddle, left the footballer on the bench in his debut match.
Beckham was named after the Manchester United legend
David Beckham said he was given the middle name Robert in honor of the England and Manchester United legend.
Daring revenge of mom and dad on a journalist
After Beckham was hounded after the 1998 World Cup, Beckham’s parents couldn’t resist the chance to take some jabs at the journalist.

David recognized Victoria’s number on the back of the match ticket
Victoria wrote the four-word message “you better call me” after scribbling her number on the back of her boarding pass for a Manchester United match.
“When I saw him in the players’ lounge, the other players were in the bar, but he was standing and talking to his parents. I’m very close to my family and I liked that side of him,” Victoria said.
The footballer belongs to the working class
“We both come from families that work very hard. We’re both working class.”
“Kissed my wife in parking lots”
Relations between the couple quickly deteriorated, but their management did not want their relationship to become public knowledge. This meant they had to get creative.
Victoria recalls: “My manager kept telling me to keep it a secret, not to take pictures together. So we met in parking lots — and I don’t mean that in a nasty way.”
David added: “The first kiss Victoria and I had was in a BMW in a parking lot. Cool”
David keeps his enemy’s T‑shirt on the wall
After the game, which the club won, Beckham is seen exchanging shirts with his old enemy.
“At the end of the match he was smart enough to exchange shirts with me,” he tells the journalist with a smile.
