91裸聊视频淚 knew it was bad at the time, but going over that whole that whole thing was quite a tough one,91裸聊视频� he told the AP.

The backlash continued throughout the next season.

91裸聊视频淚t wasn91裸聊视频檛 just stepping onto a football pitch, it was every time that I went out in my car and people stopped me and spat at my window and you know, all of those things, and then walking into a restaurant knowing that everybody in there hates you.91裸聊视频�

Best friend David Gardner recalls how Beckham even had to be accompanied by friends in the bathroom for his safety, yet never retaliated.

Despite the full support of Manchester United fans and club manager Sir Alex Ferguson, Beckham said there wasn91裸聊视频檛 the same knowledge or concern about mental health that exists now.

91裸聊视频淏ack then there wasn91裸聊视频檛 anyone turning round to me and saying, 91裸聊视频楢re you OK? Are you sure you91裸聊视频檙e OK? Let91裸聊视频檚 talk about it.91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�

So that91裸聊视频檚 how I grew up and that91裸聊视频檚 how I knew how to kind of handle a situation like that,91裸聊视频� he said.

After being spotted by a scout playing on London91裸聊视频檚 Hackney Marshes, Beckham moved to Manchester at 15. The tough love continued under Ferguson. Their partnership helped Beckham win six Premier League titles, two FA Cups and one Champions League.

91裸聊视频淲ithout a doubt, me getting out of London at that time and becoming a Manchester United player, in the north, surrounded by unbelievable people 91裸聊视频� that for me without doubt helped me have the success and have the career that I had had and have,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淗aving the discipline of Sir Alex Ferguson possibly was one of the biggest reasons why I was able to succeed.91裸聊视频�

But the discipline didn91裸聊视频檛 rub off when it comes to his own four children Brooklyn, , Cruz and Harper Seven, who all appear in the documentary. Beckham admits his wife is 91裸聊视频減retty strict91裸聊视频� and he finds it hard to lay down the law.

91裸聊视频淚t wasn91裸聊视频檛 something that normally happens, you know, a footballer and a pop star coming together and the pressures of that but also her being on the world tour, me really wanting to see her. But obviously I couldn91裸聊视频檛 travel. So, we used to sneak around.91裸聊视频�

He said they managed to keep their relationship secret for the first few months and then 91裸聊视频渢he explosion happened.91裸聊视频�

But, we were working on that a long time before that.91裸聊视频�

Looking back on his career91裸聊视频檚 highs and lows, it91裸聊视频檚 natural to wonder: Does Beckham have regrets?

91裸聊视频淒o I wish things hadn91裸聊视频檛 happened? Absolutely. Do I wish 91裸聊视频�98 hadn91裸聊视频檛 happened? Absolutely.91裸聊视频�
