David was snapped playing ’footsie’ with a mystery woman - July 05
David Beckham was snapped playing ’footsie’ with a mystery woman - while wife Victoria sat beside him. The photographs show the football ace sitting at a dinner table with his bare toes resting against the hem of the girl’s jeans. But onlookers say the foot faux par was not intentional. A source told Britain’s Daily Record newspaper the star couple were out enjoying a meal with two friends in the Spanish city of Seville. He revealed: "They enjoyed a relaxed night out and they all let their hair down. "No one would possible have noticed if David inadvertently overstretched slightly after his meal - except the person on the other side of the table."

Earlier this week, Beckham slammed the British public for "building up" their sports stars only to knock them down. He claims his life has been made a misery by false allegations of adultery and attacks on his sporting ability. However the 30-year-old admits he wasn’t surprised by the personal attacks because the British love to try and rubbish their idols. He said: "Then, when you’re down, if you get out of it, they like that But once you’re out of it, they try and knock you down again."

Fan denies affair rumours - May 05
The mystery brunette snapped leaning into David Beckham?s car has come forward to deny that anything other than talking was going on between the pair.

One giant leap for Becks ? May 05
Not satisfied with being merely one half of the country?s most celebrated couple and a global icon, David Beckham plans to head to the moon when he hangs up his football boots for good. He said ?It would be great to have the opportunity to go to the moon when I retire. It would be a real experience. A lot of players go into coaching, but I?ve decided it is not for me.? Back on earth, Becks has been holidaying in the South of France with wife, Victoria, and - if the beachside photos are anything to go by - proving that he?s one of the few men who can pull off skin-tight Speedos.

Biography

David Robert Joseph Beckham was born on 2nd May 1975 and despite being a renowned national and international footballer, is probably more famous for his marriage to ‘Posh’, aka Victoria Beckham, their bizarrely named children and continued coverage in the gossip press.

Beckham’s football career began its steady climb when he first signed a trainee’s contract with Man U in 1991, making his league debut in 1995.

His contribution at Man U saw the team climb the ladder that is the English Premiere League and by 1998 he had also established himself on the international scene.

In 1998 Beckham was part of the England squad at the World Cup, but received a red card in the quarter final, for kicking out in anger at Argentian player Diego Simeone. England lost the game on penalties and David’s on-pitch behaviour became the object of much criticism on his return to England.

Despite his instrumental part in Man U claiming the Treble, Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, in the 98/99 season, Beckham’s real rise to fame didn’t start until 2000 when he was promoted to captain the England team.

In 2001 his performance in a qualifying match against Greece saved the day for the England team and shortly afterwards he was voted Sports Personality of the Year. In 2002 his leadership saw an unprecedented 5-1 defeat of Germany in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers. The team went on to knock Argentina out of the cup on penalties, before losing in the quarterfinals to eventual winners Brazil.

Relations at home with Man U were strained during this time. A number of injuries left their star player incapacitated, whilst his growing celebrity status appeared to cause friction with teammates and manager alike.

In 2003 we all heard about the infamous ‘boot’ incident, when apparently, following a defeat against Arsenal, manager Alex Ferguson kicked a football boot at Beckham, it struck his eye causing a gash that required stitches.

In the summer of 2003 Beckham surprised fans by announcing a move to Spanish dream team Real Madrid, with whom he signed a four-year contract. During his time in Spain he split his time between the Spanish capital and his family who had remained at their home in England.

Despite winning over the fans in Spain and scoring well in the first season, the team itself didn’t perform well and were knocked out of both the Spanish and Champions League. It wasn’t until his fourth season in 2006/7 that the team won the Spanish Le Liga title, Beckham’s first since his arrival at the club.

During his time in Spain Beckham spent as much time in the papers as he did on the pitch, when accusations of an affair with personal assistant Rebecca Loos were printed in the tabloid press. His wife’s refusal to move to Spain fuelled yet further accusations that the marriage was on the rocks.

His career as England captain also seemed to be strained at this time, when during the 2006 World Cup he was substituted, a move that saw him weeping on the sideline. Shortly after this incident Beckham took the bold step of standing down from his position as captain and was subsequently dropped from the squad all together.

At the beginning of 2007 Beckham announced his swift departure from Real Madrid, in order to cross the Atlantic and join Los Angeles Galaxy.

2007 has seen the whole family move Stateside, with the Beckham’s continuing their domination of the world media in an attempt to ‘conquer’ the USA.

David and Victoria married on July 4th 1999 and have three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz
