Introducing: “Beckham,” the Captivating Netflix Series Unveiling the Iconic Football Star’s Journey
Prepare to be immersed in the captivating world of David Beckham as the highly anticipated Netflix series “Beckham” makes its debut this Wednesday. Offering a unique perspective into the former football star’s illustrious career, this series features exclusive interviews with the legendary couple, Posh and Becks, along with a host of familiar faces.
Delving into episode two of this gripping documentary series, we witness Victoria (49) and David (48) candidly discussing the harrowing abuse they endured during the late 1990s, following David’s infamous sending off during a game with Argentina.
Memorably, a local pub shamefully displayed an effigy of the star, while Manchester United’s team bus was bombarded with stones and pint glasses during their first away game the following season at West Ham.
Opening up about the impact on David, Victoria reveals, “He was shattered. It crushed him into a thousand pieces. He plunged into a deep abyss of depression – a truly clinical depression.” She continues, with immeasurable pain lingering in her voice, “I wish I could make those people pay for the agony they caused us.”
David, reflecting on the severity of the abuse he faced, shares, “If only there were a magic pill to erase those haunting memories. That stupid mistake I made changed my life forever. I was subjected to relentless questioning, bombarding me with ‘How does it feel to let your country down?’ and ‘You are an utter disgrace.'”
In the midst of these trying times, the couple moved to America, anticipating that the storm would soon pass. However, the torment persisted, leaving David overwhelmed and lost. He confides, “I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep. I was a complete mess, unsure of what to do.”
Then, a ray of hope arrived when his mentor, Alex Ferguson, reached out. David recalls, “The boss called me. ‘David, how are you doing?’ His genuine concern brought me to tears. ‘Not great, boss,’ I replied. He reassured me, ‘Don’t worry, son.’ That was the one thing I could control – my performance on the pitch. It made me feel safe.”
The spotlight on David brought attention he never wished for, especially when it affected his loved ones. He admits, “My parents should never have had to endure that. I can’t forgive myself for what I put them through. That’s the toughest part – I was the one who made the mistake.”
David reveals the toll it took on him, confessing, “When I faced adversity, I could mentally block it out. But internally, it was destroying me. Every time I was tackled that season, it felt like the opposition had scored two goals.”
Unwavering support from Victoria, who endured her own fair share of abuse from spectators, became David’s driving force. “As painful as it was to witness Victoria receive that abuse in the stands, it was the one thing that fueled my determination,” he shares.
In this episode, Victoria shares her own struggles with revisiting those painful memories. She divulges, “I now understand why these interviews for Netflix have been so challenging for me. I had blocked out so much of it. But now, it’s all resurfacing – just imagine having a baby and receiving death threats. David had to play through all of that.”
March 1999 welcomed the arrival of the couple’s first child, Brooklyn, and they have since become proud parents to Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, building a loving family unit amidst the trials they faced.
Prepare yourselves for an exhilarating and emotional journey as “Beckham” takes you behind the scenes of a football legend’s life like never before. This series will leave you captivated, challenging your perceptions of fame, resilience, and the human spirit.
