Former Man Utd midfielder David Beckham received a phone call from Sir Alex Ferguson when he was at Barcelona airport.
As mentioned by many Manchester United players over the years, a no-nonsense Sir Alex Ferguson often knew their whereabouts – just ask David Beckham, who has told some previously untold stories about his former boss.The show features never-before-seen personal archive footage from the last 40 years, as well as candid current-day moments and interviews with family, friends and footballing figures that have been part of his journey.
“There were some things that got highlighted because once Victoria and I were together, everything we did was more highlighted than anything the manager had seen," Beckham said."All he [Sir Alex] was worried about was the football side. I’m sure he was worried about me as a person as well because I’d grown up at the club and he cared about us as players. I wasn’t travelling to London as much as the manager thought.
"Without telling anyone, I went to see Victoria one night as we had the day off the next day. I’m on the way back to Manchester, waiting for the flight to board, and the gaffer walks in – he was on the same flight!”"We were playing in the Charity Shield and the gaffer looked at me once I took my cap off and said, ‘shave it off,’ as I was just about to go out for the warm up," said Beckham.
