The four-part series explores David Beckham’s upbringing, his courtship with his wife and his triumphs on the field, but the most difficult part for him was revisiting the 1998 World Cup.
David Beckham delves back into the hateful treatment he received following his infamous 1998 World Cup red card — and its impact on him — in a new Netflix documentary series pegged to the 10th anniversary of his retirement.
“Beckham” includes footage of the hatred the soccer star received — condemnation in British tabloids and constant fan abuse, including one who hung his effigy from a noose outside a London pub. “Back then there wasn’t anyone turning round to me and saying, ‘Are you OK? Are you sure you’re OK? Let’s talk about it.’”
The first episode, which debuts Oct. 4, explores young David’s upbringing in Chingford, Essex, and his relationship with his father. But the discipline didn’t rub off when it comes to his own four children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven, who all appear in the documentary. Beckham admits his wife is “pretty strict” and he finds it hard to lay down the law.
He said they managed to keep their relationship secret for the first few months and then “the explosion happened.”
