00:01:29Good, right?
00:01:30Yeah.
00:01:31DB sticky stuff.
00:01:32DB sticky.
00:01:33See, it's growing on you, right?
00:01:35It actually is.
00:01:36It's growing on you.
00:01:41Buck is very sticky, though.
00:01:57Welcome to the start of the new season in England.
00:02:04It was a beautiful day in London.
00:02:08First game of the season.
00:02:12So in the glare of the sunshine,
00:02:13in the glare of great publicity,
00:02:16we're about to get underway.
00:02:20Jordy Cruyff tried to chip the goalkeeper.
00:02:26And I remember looking over at the manager.
00:02:30Because if ever you tried anything like that
00:02:32and it didn't come off,
00:02:33the manager would be on his feet and he'd be killing you.
00:02:39So.
00:02:51We won the ball just inside our half.
00:03:00And I looked up and I thought, why not?
00:03:11We were behind the goal that day.
00:03:13It just went deathly quiet.
00:03:15Like, as the ball left his foot,
00:03:17the ground, you wouldn't have known he was in a football stadium.
00:03:23And I remember seeing it go right out left and then all of a sudden it started coming back in.
00:03:32And I was thinking, this has got a chance.
00:03:36And Beckham saw Sullivan off his line.
00:03:39Oh!
00:03:41That is absolutely phenomenal.
00:03:45From the halfway line.
00:03:48What an astonishing goal.
00:03:51Everybody in the ground just lost in admiration.
00:03:55And 21-year-old David Beckham scores what may go down as one of the great goals of our time.
00:04:03And it will be talked about for a long, long time.
00:04:07I walked off the pitch.
00:04:09The manager said, David, you get on the bus and you don't say a word.
00:04:14No interviews.
00:04:16First of all, David Beckham's goal.
00:04:19Fantastic.
00:04:20I love this world.
00:04:20Best goal I've ever seen.
00:04:22It's unprecedented in his own half.
00:04:24Nobody's ever done it before.
00:04:29Good evening.
00:04:30There was a goal from the halfway line scored by Manchester United's David Beckham.
00:04:35We didn't have access to internet and stuff like this.
00:04:38So you hear about it through the radio and it was like, right, match of the day tonight.
00:04:44We're going to watch that.
00:04:46And you'd heard about him before and you'd seen him play games and whatnot.
00:04:50But that was the first moment where I went, okay.
00:04:55There's difference to this guy.
00:04:57And everybody kept saying, oh, what a goal.
00:05:00So I didn't see it.
00:05:02What?
00:05:02I didn't see it.
00:05:04Some bloody blokes stood up in front of me.
00:05:07But that was the start of it, really.
00:05:10Because nobody had done it before.
00:05:13Healy had tried it.
00:05:15Healy.
00:05:16Oh, he's got an O'Keehan tonight.
00:05:20David.
00:05:20David.
00:05:21David.
00:05:23David.
00:05:23Did you know that his life was going to change after that goal?
00:05:26Oh, yeah.
00:05:27He had to.
00:05:29He had to.
00:05:31He never left him alone after that.
00:05:34Has he changed at all?
00:05:36No, he's not changed at all.
00:05:37He's still a nice lad.
00:05:40He's fine.
00:05:40He makes me laugh.
00:05:42Do you pinch yourself?
00:05:44Do you think, I just can't believe this is happening?
00:05:45Yeah.
00:05:46I just drift away and, you know, and think how it first happened.
00:05:50That is brilliant.
00:05:59Morning.
00:06:00What's up?
00:06:02Did you kill these deer?
00:06:04No.
00:06:05Not me.
00:06:07Nothing to do with me, actually.
00:06:12My granddad was meticulous.
00:06:15Everything that was written about me.
00:06:17Every picture that was in the papers.
00:06:20Oh, my God.
00:06:21Some of these pictures I haven't seen for years.
00:06:29As Dad, did my Dad behave himself?
00:06:32Certainly ain't allowed to say.
00:06:34Yeah.
00:06:35I was a gas engineer.
00:06:37Used to work seven days a week.
00:06:39Used to have a red Toyota van.
00:06:41I would have no other color.
00:06:43My Dad was absolutely obsessed with Manchester United.
00:06:48Every Christmas, I would get a Manchester United kit.
00:06:53His obsession was bigger than mine.
00:06:57I was a hairdresser and then had the children,
00:06:59so I worked at home to make money.
00:07:02We didn't have much then.
00:07:05My mum would have four or five old ladies
00:07:08sat under the big hair dryers
00:07:10and then I would be making cups of teas
00:07:13and pieces of toast
00:07:14and giving them cakes and things like that.
00:07:19I never really did well at school.
00:07:21I wasn't intelligent, believe it or not.
00:07:23Surprise, surprise.
00:07:26I never had many friends.
00:07:28I kept myself to myself.
00:07:30From the moment I got him from school
00:07:32to the moment I slept.
00:07:35I spent my time out in the garden.
00:07:38He'd never do anything else.
00:07:40If it was bad weather or something,
00:07:41he'd be drawing
00:07:42and it would all be something to do with football.
00:07:46This one is playing for the county.
00:07:49Look at that.
00:07:50Already you had it.
00:07:51I know. That style.
00:07:53They could hit a ball in a certain way,
00:07:56different to anyone else.
00:07:58To 30 yards away on a sixpence.
00:08:07I used to say to him, right,
00:08:08every time you hit the crossbar,
00:08:10I'll give you 50p.
00:08:12And it used to cost me a fortune.
00:08:17That's all he ever wanted.
00:08:20He never went out with friends,
00:08:21never went out at night.
00:08:23Partying girls.
00:08:24He didn't want to know.
00:08:26I saw my mum and dad
00:08:28working hard every day
00:08:29till 11 o'clock at night,
00:08:3012 o'clock at night.
00:08:32I knew the only way to be a professional footballer
00:08:36was to work hard.
00:08:44Did he tell you I was there the first time
00:08:47Manchester United found him?
00:08:50And this man was stood by the side of me
00:08:53and he said, I'm a Man United scout.
00:08:56I said, oh.
00:08:57The phone rings and it rung at a time
00:08:59where we all look at each other
00:09:01and be like, who's calling this time of night?
00:09:03My mum picked it up
00:09:04and she literally went,
00:09:08it's Alex Ferguson, it's Alex Ferguson.
00:09:11Here he comes.
00:09:13Ready and, hold on.
00:09:15That's not him.
00:09:16Oh, there it is.
00:09:17At first I thought it was a wind up.
00:09:20I was, I couldn't sleep that night.
00:09:24So, thank you so much.
00:09:25We ordered you a coffee.
00:09:27So, we got two cameras.
00:09:29Two cameras.
00:09:30Yup.
00:09:30I was hoping for three.
00:09:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:37And I think you could go.
00:09:39Okay.
00:09:40When did David Beckham first come to your attention?
00:09:43It was not long after I came to the club.
00:09:481986 has been United's worst start to the season
00:09:51since the war.
00:09:52The club have fought from bottom.
00:09:56The club say they'll now be approaching Alex Ferguson.
00:10:00Let me see a start, Agrafina.
00:10:01No!
00:10:03We haven't won the league for 20 years.
00:10:05That is a great challenge for the Manchester United players.
00:10:10The one thing about Sir Alex,
00:10:12you had to have what we call in England,
00:10:14you have to have a big pair to play.
00:10:17You could say balls.
00:10:18Yeah.
00:10:20You need a pair of balls.
00:10:21As Manchester United face a crucial afternoon
00:10:25in their quest for the Premier League.
00:10:27The big thing was Manchester United hadn't won the league
00:10:30for 25 years.
00:10:31It was ridiculous.
00:10:32The manager saving every vital second.
00:10:35So that was the holy grail.
00:10:36Out to Bannister.
00:10:39Bruce!
00:10:40Yes!
00:10:43Unbelievable!
00:10:45Brian Kidd and Alex Ferguson celebrating the championship.
00:10:49But the one thing that hit you straight away
00:10:51was the ferocious appetite he had to succeed.
00:10:55That's the moment Old Trafford has been waiting for
00:10:57since 1967.
00:11:00I wouldn't be taking my foot off the pedal.
00:11:02It's not my nature.
00:11:03And as long as they're hungry,
00:11:04because without hunger you can never achieve anything.
00:11:08What I wanted was the structure of young people getting a chance.
00:11:12That was my mantra.
00:11:14To get young players develop a football club, not a team.
00:11:18It's me and the boss.
00:11:20It's one of the first times I met him.
00:11:25There's a picture of you there signing with Alex Ferguson.
00:11:29What was it like when you signed that?
00:11:30Just brilliant.
00:11:32Signing the paper and that.
00:11:34Just couldn't believe it was happening.
00:11:37He came to us as a small skinny little boy, you know.
00:11:41But when you see potential, it sticks out at you.
00:11:45It's your job then to bring that to fruition, to make him a man.
00:11:54Alex Ferguson was someone that I looked up to as a father figure.
00:12:01He was one of the most important people in my life from the age of 12, 13 when I first
00:12:07met him.
00:12:10This was your first ever.
00:12:13Young David Beckham coming on.
00:12:16Yep, my first ever game.
00:12:18Young midfield player, as Kachowskis goes on.
00:12:21Look how young dude.
00:12:23I don't know, 17.
00:12:28We know that they're going to run long.
00:12:30They're going to run forever.
00:12:32The captain are charging.
00:12:33Boulet getting himself into trouble.
00:12:35Beckham!
00:12:36It's a goal!
00:12:382-0!
00:12:40Well, the young boys are doing Alex Ferguson proud.
00:12:43My first goal was great, but I was more excited about celebrating with Eric.
00:12:48Try on the youngster's face there.
00:12:54That's one of his favourite memories.
00:12:56Yeah.
00:12:58What was that moment like when the ball hit the net?
00:13:01It was a dream.
00:13:02It was just a dream.
00:13:03And I'd never had a feeling like it in my life, never.
00:13:07Let's move around.
00:13:08Steve, can you get the boots?
00:13:10These here, see that Bex?
00:13:17We've got a really noisy atmosphere at Old Trafford.
00:13:21Wow.
00:13:23It's all about anticipation.
00:13:25To anticipate.
00:13:27Anticipation.
00:13:28That's why sometimes people think about intelligence.
00:13:32Footballers are not intelligence.
00:13:35You need to have this kind of intelligence.
00:13:38We play a wonderful footballer.
00:13:40To David Beckham.
00:13:42That's not a bad boy!
00:13:47Wonderful.
00:13:48Eric Katedar.
00:13:51Two, it might be three.
00:13:52Is it Beckham?
00:13:55That season, when you see David play,
00:13:58everybody says that he has a gift.
00:14:02It's gonna be Beckham.
00:14:04Oh!
00:14:05It's another classic!
00:14:07From the only David Beckham.
00:14:09He's like an artist in front of this canvas.
00:14:14You can put the ball anywhere.
00:14:16He drops it back up!
00:14:18Well, every goal he scores is an absolute music.
00:14:22How about that?
00:14:23Seriously, that feeling,
00:14:25if you could bottle that feeling and sell it,
00:14:27he'd be a billionaire.
00:14:28You are tomorrow
00:14:30He's the best set to take you home
00:14:34There were times in that season where we'd think,
00:14:37wow, Beck's man, the way he's hitting this ball,
00:14:39I've never seen anything like it.
00:14:40You see him now and again
00:14:44There isn't a guy who can do it the way he does it.
00:14:49This was your entrance every day.
00:14:51Yeah.
00:14:53Into the theatre, as it's known.
00:14:55The theatre of dreams.
00:15:00Flashlight killing his hair.
00:15:03Looking real, prim, proper.
00:15:06Pretty, call him pretty boy,
00:15:07because he was.
00:15:08He was pretty.
00:15:17It was very much the music stars in Manchester
00:15:20who were the stars.
00:15:21We were, you know,
00:15:24cock of the walk.
00:15:25We were kings of the roost,
00:15:26the Manchester music scene in that time.
00:15:28With the Hacienda,
00:15:29it was all about musicians.
00:15:33The Stone Roses,
00:15:35Happy Mondays,
00:15:36Oasis.
00:15:38When Beckham star rose,
00:15:40it had turned round completely.
00:15:44And you'd watch the footballers become the rock stars.
00:15:50I loved Manchester.
00:15:52You know, there was so much happening.
00:15:54You know, Hacienda, which I never went to Hacienda,
00:15:56but, well, I actually might have gone a couple of times,
00:15:58but, er...
00:16:04Did you ever go to the Hacienda?
00:16:07No.
00:16:08I don't like nightclubs.
00:16:10Erm, really.
00:16:12Not for me.
00:16:12Never have been.
00:16:13The music, the noise.
00:16:14I think night out for me is about a social experience
00:16:17where the people who you're with,
00:16:18you talk to them,
00:16:19you have a good night,
00:16:20you have a drink, of course you do.
00:16:21But the idea of nightclubs
00:16:22where you've got this, like,
00:16:23music in your ear
00:16:23and this banging noise,
00:16:25that isn't for me, that.
00:16:27It's not a scarf, it's a hoodie.
00:16:29Is it?
00:16:29Give me a break.
00:16:33Gary Neville.
00:16:36Beckham.
00:16:37We were absolutely destroying teams
00:16:39down that right-hand side.
00:16:40He was with his crossing,
00:16:41and I was supporting him in a way which, to be fair,
00:16:44I was...
00:16:45I said it was a side dish, really.
00:16:49It's another fuller collection for David Beckham.
00:16:51Not the beef.
00:16:53I was the mustard on the side.
00:16:56Gary was Mr. Sensible.
00:16:58Did he talk a lot then?
00:17:00Oh, Gaz...
00:17:01Gaz always talked.
00:17:03He could always talk,
00:17:04and we very rarely listened to him.
00:17:08But there was just that special connection between us.
00:17:12First of all, do you think he's a good player?
00:17:13Yeah.
00:17:13Yeah, I think he's going to be the best midfielder in England.
00:17:16I'm sure of that.
00:17:17He's unique in that
00:17:19he can do things that other footballers can't do.
00:17:22Gary Neville.
00:17:23I was subservient.
00:17:24Beckham.
00:17:25Because I need David to go and do something magical.
00:17:28Glorious ball.
00:17:31He was practising free kicks.
00:17:33I was practising throw-ins.
00:17:36Beckham.
00:17:37It's a difficult ball, but how about that for execution?
00:17:40We were like that on the pitch.
00:17:42It was telepathic.
00:17:45Off the pitch as well, I knew where he was in his mind.
00:17:49It wasn't enough for him.
00:17:52He wanted to be more than a football player.
00:18:00That season...
00:18:03That was the start for me of working with the brands.
00:18:08We've invested significant resources in developing a modern commercial product,
00:18:12which is specially formulated for men.
00:18:14That was the first time I stepped outside of football.
00:18:17David!
00:18:18Over here!
00:18:20Over here!
00:18:20Over here!
00:18:24Not many footballers were doing that at that point.
00:18:27Sit up straight, though.
00:18:29But you got paid.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:32Got paid.
00:18:34Yeah.
00:18:34I'm trying to go wide on it.
00:18:36Hang on.
00:18:38It's living nice, yeah.
00:18:40Yes.
00:18:40This is the first time I've ever been in a course.
00:18:44You spent your money.
00:18:45I spent my money.
00:18:46You liked your stuff.
00:18:47I like nice stuff.
00:18:50Oh, what's he like?
00:18:54As soon as we got money, it was like,
00:18:56I want to buy a nice watch.
00:18:57I love shopping, I love cars, I love watches.
00:19:00Let's have a look at your watch.
00:19:01What is it?
00:19:01It's a Rolex.
00:19:03This is interesting.
00:19:04Yeah, that's Gucci.
00:19:06I suppose you've got to look good for the paparazzi, haven't you?
00:19:07I've got that.
00:19:13I tied a contract with Adidas
00:19:19for £50,000.
00:19:23And I went and bought an M3 for £50,000.
00:19:30What is the obsession with the cars, man?
00:19:33Bentley's Porsche, yeah.
00:19:35He was a force to kind of...
00:19:37Certainly that he upped everyone's game in the car park.
00:19:39I'll give him that.
00:19:45David used to get his salary on a Friday,
00:19:47he used to spend it on a Saturday all,
00:19:49and then spend the next five days waiting for his next salary
00:19:51to get the jeans to match.
00:19:53That was him.
00:19:54Have money, spend it.
00:19:55Have money, spend it.
00:19:56Have money, spend it.
00:19:59Where me and Gary were like,
00:20:00let's save it for a rainy day.
00:20:02I used to have a pension.
00:20:03We used to put money into a pension
00:20:04and David was just like,
00:20:05what the fuck you doing?
00:20:06He came in, he was like,
00:20:07I've just bought a fancy pen.
00:20:09And we were like,
00:20:10who the fuck buys a pen?
00:20:11You know what I mean?
00:20:12Who buys an expensive pen?
00:20:15Shorts and clothes, I get all that in cars.
00:20:17Who buys a pen?
00:20:18How many lessons you got a week?
00:20:20I don't know.
00:20:20I'll pick up a big raw mail sack.
00:20:22Sometimes once a week.
00:20:24So, do you remember when David got his first fan mail?
00:20:28I can't honestly remember.
00:20:30He just got built up and built up.
00:20:33All these young ladies writing to him, you know.
00:20:37What did they send?
00:20:41Do you get people sending you knickers through the post
00:20:43and all that kind of thing?
00:20:44Yeah.
00:20:46It's not nice, is it?
00:20:48Sending underwear to us.
00:20:50I put them to one side and didn't reply.
00:20:55Did it get to his head?
00:20:57No.
00:20:58When you start young,
00:21:00a lot of people want to invite you to this party.
00:21:04You become the most beautiful guy for a lot of girls.
00:21:07You have people around you ready to give you advice
00:21:11to spend money and all that.
00:21:13And then you have to, you know, stay calm and keep the feet on the ground
00:21:19and know that this is a circus.
00:21:24And I don't need this kind of circus.
00:21:28I need to concentrate on food work.
00:21:30Can you believe it's all happening to you?
00:21:32Are your feet still on the ground kind of thing?
00:21:34Oh, yeah, definitely.
00:21:35Actually, it was nice.
00:21:36One of my friends turned around to me the other day and said,
00:21:40you've got all this, but it's not changed you.
00:21:43It definitely didn't change me.
00:21:45Way changed.
00:21:47There's no doubt about that.
00:21:48And I think that media attention he was getting
00:21:51and being a celebrity was different from what I wanted.
00:21:59Getting David to keep his feet on the ground became more difficult.
00:22:03OK, David, straight down the centre.
00:22:06Good smile.
00:22:08He's a good-looking boy and he's always well cut.
00:22:12So it was a great attraction for the media.
00:22:16Does pop image for young footballers concern you?
00:22:21Well, I mean, I think...
00:22:23Yeah, I think it probably does.
00:22:25I think there's a phase at the moment
00:22:27that he's getting a lot of profile.
00:22:31And you hope that dies out quickly.
00:22:34Just from the head upwards.
00:22:36Keep your shoulders that way.
00:22:39He's taking an agent on now, so...
00:22:42I don't know how they handled that part.
00:22:48But he knows what I am, and that's important.
00:22:50I know my team,
00:22:53and hopefully we can do the business.
00:22:55All right.
00:22:57He wanted me to go with a certain agent that he knew,
00:23:02and I wanted to go to another agent,
00:23:05and he went absolutely mental at me.
00:23:09Like, mental.
00:23:10To the point where he wanted nothing to do with me.
00:23:13He wouldn't even talk to me.
00:23:20I didn't want anything to come in the way of the football.
00:23:25But I knew my career was going to end at some point.
00:23:30And I wanted to have a career after football.
00:23:36And that ate away at the manager.
00:23:40He just wanted me to be the best footballer that I could be.
00:23:45And be, you know, married to a local girl that wasn't a superstar.
00:23:57We were watching TV.
00:23:59It came on.
00:24:03And I turned around to Gary.
00:24:04I went, see that one there? I'm going to marry that one.
00:24:07And kind of, you know, we're laughing and joking.
00:24:09I'm like, no, I'm going to marry that one.
00:24:13The posh one, the one in the black dress.
00:24:17I suppose that most blokes have done that in their life, haven't they?
00:24:19Looked at the television and said, like,
00:24:22don't fucking end up with them.
00:24:28We went to a game and we were invited onto the pitch at half-time.
00:24:34Thank you very much.
00:24:37But all of my family are Liverpool supporters.
00:24:40Of course, David playing for Manchester United,
00:24:42I just knew that he was one of those players for that team
00:24:45I didn't really like very much.
00:24:50In the changing room before the game,
00:24:52one of the players came in and there was like two Spice Girls here
00:24:55and I was like, what ones?
00:24:57And there was like the sporty one and the posh one
00:25:00and I was like, great.
00:25:05OK, this is 3-0-6-9.
00:25:26So, I then played the game.
00:25:28Neville.
00:25:30It's a useful cross.
00:25:32Back up!
00:25:35Full of beauty!
00:25:36He could not have struck it better.
00:25:38Karen Neville can take plenty of credit.
00:25:43I am not into football.
00:25:45At all.
00:25:46I wasn't into football then.
00:25:48I'm not into football now.
00:25:51Olive, do you want to come and be in it?
00:25:52Make me look like a nice person.
00:25:54I'll just pat you every now and then.
00:25:56You need more than one dog.
00:25:57Maybe I should bring the other suit in as well.
00:26:01But I've seen pictures of him in magazines
00:26:04and he's obviously a really good-looking boy.
00:26:08What's a boy?
00:26:09How old was he?
00:26:10Boy, young man.
00:26:11The fact I went to the games really was just to kind of,
00:26:15some would say stalk him, I would say see him.
00:26:19When I saw him in the footballers' lounge,
00:26:22all the other footballers were at the bar,
00:26:23but he was standing talking to his parents
00:26:25and I'm very close to my family
00:26:28and I loved that side to him.
00:26:31That first time that I speak to her,
00:26:35I just fancied her.
00:26:38I just, I just fancied him.
00:26:39It was as simple as that.
00:26:41Yeah, I mean, I think also we both come from families
00:26:43that work really hard.
00:26:45Both of our parents work really hard.
00:26:47We're very working, working class.
00:26:50Be honest.
00:26:51I am being honest.
00:26:53Be honest.
00:26:54I am being honest.
00:26:55What car did your dad drive you to school in?
00:26:57So, my dad did...
00:26:59No, one answer.
00:27:00My dad...
00:27:01What car was it?
00:27:01It's not a simple answer because...
00:27:03What car did you get your dad to drive you to school in?
00:27:06It depends.
00:27:07No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:08OK, in the 80s my dad had a Rolls Royce.
00:27:16I must have flown to the game
00:27:18because I wrote my number on the airplane ticket.
00:27:22And I remember saying, you better call me.
00:27:24There was something there that just...
00:27:27Straight away.
00:27:28I was just like, OK, this is it.
00:27:31And it's gonna move fast.
00:27:34But I wasn't one of these girls
00:27:35that would be interested in footballers
00:27:38because they're famous.
00:27:39I don't mean this in an arrogant way,
00:27:41but I had that myself.
00:27:44Hi.
00:27:46The list of boy bands around these days is endless.
00:27:50Hello.
00:27:51Spice Girls are set to give the lads a run for their money.
00:28:00And we were on a mission
00:28:02to prove that girls are better than boys.
00:28:09And I suppose what we created was a bit of a monster in the five of us, really.
00:28:14We would jump on the tables.
00:28:17Well, I didn't jump on the tables.
00:28:19I was always a little bit more sensible.
00:28:20We just present ourselves as...
00:28:22I never found it as easy as the other girls
00:28:25to be that outgoing.
00:28:29I was always quite shy.
00:28:31I was never the popular kid at school, you know.
00:28:34I was actually bullied quite a lot.
00:28:42And I probably would still be that way if I hadn't have met the girls.
00:28:48She is a foxy lady of the group.
00:28:50I'm not a foxy lady.
00:28:53And what the Spice Girls did is they brought me out of me.
00:29:02I'm scared, really.
00:29:04And that just kind of became our thing,
00:29:06that we kind of celebrated our individuality.
00:29:09We call ourselves Spice Girls because we're all...
00:29:11If you look at us right, we dress quite differently, don't we?
00:29:14And we're all, like, really different.
00:29:15You know, we're, like, all different flavour spices.
00:29:17We're just being ourselves.
00:29:18We don't need a uniform to be in a gang.
00:29:20If a man wants to wear a dress, well, that's fine.
00:29:22Just be who you want to be.
00:29:24It doesn't matter who you are, what you are.
00:29:27Now, you put a lot of emphasis on protecting young players
00:29:30from the outside world.
00:29:31David Beckins struck the only goal of the match.
00:29:34But what do you do with David?
00:29:38Well, David is...
00:29:42The availability of the protection is always there for him.
00:29:45He knows where I am.
00:29:49So, Alex would buy our players.
00:29:53Not particularly because they were talented.
00:29:55But they'd look at their background.
00:29:56Have you got a girlfriend?
00:29:58Yes, Gaffa.
00:29:59How long have you been with her?
00:30:01Two years, Gaffa.
00:30:02Are you engaged?
00:30:03Getting married in 1990, Gaffa.
00:30:06He liked the fact that you were going home to someone
00:30:08because he wanted you to be stable.
00:30:12Not having parties every night.
00:30:16So Alex Ferguson had socialist principles.
00:30:19You might be an individual, but in here, we're all equal.
00:30:25You're putting the team first.
00:30:28What Alex built was a team of mini-me's.
00:30:37The boss would not let us wear anything other than a black boot.
00:30:42And I remember bringing a pair of white Adidas into...
00:30:46And he was like, absolutely not.
00:30:51We all knew the rules.
00:30:53It's his way.
00:30:55You had to conform, go against them.
00:30:57You're finished.
00:31:00My manager kept saying, try and keep it under wraps.
00:31:03Don't get photographed together.
00:31:05So we would...
00:31:07We would meet in car parks and that's not as seedy as it sounds.
00:31:10The first kiss that I ever had with Victoria was in the BMW in a car park.
00:31:15Classy.
00:31:18The truth is, he was on the phone to Victoria every second.
00:31:22And he would stay on the phone until one o'clock in the morning.
00:31:25He was in the bathroom with the light on all night speaking to her.
00:31:29I'm like, what the fuck are you speaking to her about?
00:31:34What would you say?
00:31:35I don't know.
00:31:37I think...
00:31:37Have you never done that, though?
00:31:40Early on in the relationship?
00:31:42No.
00:31:44Come on, mate.
00:31:45Seriously.
00:31:47I'll play Liverpool on Sunday.
00:31:49Good morning from Anfield for the most important league game of the Premier League season.
00:31:55The two juggernauts of English football for United.
00:31:58The win would put them well on their way to their fourth title in five seasons.
00:32:03Victoria would be away and we'd be staying at his house.
00:32:06And three o'clock in the morning the phone would ring.
00:32:10He had a game.
00:32:11So...
00:32:12I'd answer the phone and say he's in bed asleep.
00:32:16And they'd want to talk.
00:32:18But me being a protective mum would have thought...
00:32:21You know, you shouldn't really be ringing this time in the morning.
00:32:24But how can you tell? They're adults.
00:32:28Morning kick-off.
00:32:29Some criticism of that, that such an important game has to have an 11-15 kick-off.
00:32:34It's meant, of course, that the players have had to get up at the crack of dawn.
00:32:38And just looking at the players' faces, you can see the nerves and tension of the occasion.
00:32:44We were worried that he'd lose all what he'd worked for.
00:32:48Because football come first and all of a sudden it wasn't.
00:32:51This is Gary Neville. He's played so solidly again this season.
00:32:55I knew the lengths he were going to to see Victoria. It was a lot.
00:32:59It was like an addict.
00:33:02It's like he had to...
00:33:03He would drive four hours to spend 20 minutes with her.
00:33:08Kouama gets it away. Not very far. He's Beckham!
00:33:11Liverpool were grateful that he wasn't so deadly on that occasion.
00:33:16He couldn't kid us.
00:33:17Did you say what you did last night, mate?
00:33:19Oh, I just went for a drive.
00:33:22What do you mean, went for a drive?
00:33:26Beckham again.
00:33:28This time, the ball is attacked.
00:33:30You knew David was pissing the manager off.
00:33:33I think he was probably going down to London at times when he possibly shouldn't have been.
00:33:38And the manager wouldn't have that.
00:33:43Long ball in and Barnes has scored!
00:33:47If you lose discipline, you don't play at 100%, you play at 80% or 90%.
00:33:53And then you go down very quickly.
00:33:56You know, that's very fast.
00:33:58In a few months, you disappear completely.
00:34:00And then you wake up in the morning and you say,
00:34:02Oh, shit.
00:34:04Exactly what the Liverpool fans ordered!
00:34:08I didn't care when I saw her, how much I saw her.
00:34:12If it was me driving down to London to see her for seven minutes, I did it.
00:34:18He won't be very happy with the way the story is unfolding so far.
00:34:26But...
00:34:27This is Gary Neville.
00:34:28I don't know how he did it.
00:34:30Cantona.
00:34:31Beckham nicely done.
00:34:32Cantona again.
00:34:33Lovely move by Manchester United.
00:34:35But he's at the far post just a minute.
00:34:37David had the ability to have madness in his life, potentially.
00:34:44Swing in again by Beckham and a tremendous save!
00:34:48And literally, an hour before kick-off, he'd switch off and he'd switch into football mode.
00:34:56He comes to the Manchester United corner, and a goal!
00:35:04And how priceless will that goal be in the title race?
00:35:10And he'd be on it, he'd perform.
00:35:12I don't know how he did it.
00:35:14He's Beckham again, and that's Pallister again on the near post!
00:35:16And he's done it again!
00:35:18And Liverpool's defending from corners is an absolute nightmare!
00:35:23I don't know how he did it.
00:35:25I couldn't do it. Honestly, it would break me.
00:35:28And Manchester United getting the three points in the biggest league game of the season.
00:35:44This was the first time that we've really seen Victoria and David Beckham together as a couple.
00:35:51It's unbelievable, it's manner from heaven from newspapers.
00:35:54There's so many angles, it hits pop culture, sport.
00:35:57And I always remember, in Manchester, there were the two brothers that followed him around.
00:36:03They were fucking everywhere.
00:36:05He sees you.
00:36:08VDV, Victoria and David Beckham.
00:36:10For about three months, we kept it quiet.
00:36:14You guys followed him everywhere.
00:36:16And then I bought her a Cartier watch.
00:36:19And she wore it, and then all of a sudden, people were piecing it all together.
00:36:30So, you know, posh and bets.
00:36:42Were you aware of the Spice Girls?
00:36:44I certainly was. I put them on the cover.
00:36:46I think I only put them on the cover because my daughter, I was so obsessed with them that I
00:36:51felt that the world must be.
00:36:53Were you a football fan as well?
00:36:55Absolutely not.
00:37:01But when you have two equally charismatic people, it doubles the volume. It puts the heat factor way up.
00:37:10It became fashion, like...
00:37:12We had to learn fashion plans. We had to learn which handbag Victoria was carrying, which trainers David was wearing,
00:37:17which glasses he was wearing, which car he was driving. We had to learn.
00:37:21It didn't rub off.
00:37:22It didn't rub off, no.
00:37:26David didn't have a lot of friends at school, neither did I. And you go from being that kid at
00:37:30school, who's desperate just for a friend, to all of a sudden, being chased down the street.
00:37:38You know, it was a novelty.
00:37:39And here goes David Beckham. Game set and match for Manchester United. Victoria Adams joins in the glee.
00:37:50I can't put into words how big they were. They were the new Charles and Diana in some ways. I
00:37:57don't know that I feel comfortable saying that, but they were like royalty.
00:38:02This was the day of Princess Diana's death.
00:38:05I was not comfortable with the photographers being as aggressive as they were.
00:38:16But I loved being in her world. It was exciting.
00:38:23Do you get a kick, actually, when people go, this, this? You do get a kick. You do, don't you?
00:38:28Yeah, of course, you know, you, you, you walk down the streets and then there's kids like that.
00:38:34Little kids, and you're like, yeah, it's nice. It is really nice.
00:38:39The 1997 Young Player of the Year of Chloe deserved David Beckham.
00:38:46You're attracting attention, not only from the back pages of the newspapers, but the front pages and the middle pages.
00:38:51I very rarely get nervous.
00:38:54But I remember getting the phone call.
00:38:58From the England manager.
00:39:06David, is it extra special to play for England?
00:39:09Uh, yeah, I think so. But yeah, great experience.
00:39:12I loved United, but the number one thing that I'd always wanted to do above anything else was play for
00:39:21England.
00:39:23That was a dream.
00:39:28Oh, it's all right.
00:39:29It's all right. It's all right. This is a man.
00:39:30Yeah.
00:39:32To get picked to play for your country. How important is that?
00:39:35You know, when someone's telling you something, you're trying to be cool and calm, you think, yeah, Gaffa, that's unbelievable.
00:39:39You know what I mean? But your stomach's going like 100 mile an hour and you just can't wait to
00:39:43get into your room and ring your wife and tell everybody.
00:39:49You know, playing at the National Team Stadium, playing at Wembley, it's a very emotional moment for me.
00:39:57Because my dad always used to take me to Wembley to watch England play.
00:40:01That was really what my childhood was all about.
00:40:08To see my son come out for the first time at Wembley, I must admit, I had a little tear.
00:40:29To get a phone call from an England manager would have always been great.
00:40:36But to get it from Glenn Hoddle, that was a special moment.
00:40:42As a young kid, I loved Hoddle.
00:40:47He was kind of flash, he was good looking, he had the hair.
00:40:52You know, he always wore his shorts really short.
00:40:56He had good legs, actually.
00:40:58But he could play a ball no one else could play.
00:41:04Everything that he did, I wanted to be.
00:41:19I remember Glenn Hoddle was opening a shop.
00:41:22And we stood for two, three hours in his little England kit with Hoddle on the back.
00:41:28And he never turned up.
00:41:30Glenn Hoddle never turned up.
00:41:33David was strong.
00:41:35The fact that I've brought him in on my first squad and given him his debut, and he stayed in
00:41:40the team, I think says it all.
00:41:43But obviously he still needs to find his feet at international level.
00:41:46And he was building a team around Bex.
00:41:52But I think Glenn Hoddle had demands on Bex because he knew how good he was.
00:41:56And I think he saw a bit of himself in David.
00:41:59Rome has seen its fair share of gladiatorial confrontation down the years.
00:42:04Will it ever have witnessed anything like this then?
00:42:07England's biggest game of football for some four years for a place in the World Cup Finals.
00:42:20To say I was nervous is an understatement.
00:42:24Well, all football fanatics know the scenario tonight, but forgive me for just spelling it out.
00:42:29Italy have to win.
00:42:30A draw enough for England.
00:42:33On this extraordinary night.
00:42:36Sellout crowd of 75,000.
00:42:39He loved playing for his country.
00:42:41He was so patriotic.
00:42:49There's a problem for Inns who seems to maybe have a facial cut.
00:42:53I never played in the World Cup.
00:42:54It's the player's dream to play in the World Cup.
00:42:56The pressure of it.
00:43:02Becker.
00:43:03This is Blake Clay.
00:43:05Sheringham.
00:43:06David Beckham!
00:43:08It could have been.
00:43:09It maybe should have been all over.
00:43:13And we're into time added off.
00:43:15David Beckham's corner.
00:43:19And here come Fiesa and Italy.
00:43:23With Del Piero.
00:43:26Markham!
00:43:27Markham!
00:43:29England have qualified for the 1998 World Cup Finals.
00:43:35And it's the dance of joy for the man who masterminded it all.
00:43:41Glenn Hoddle got us to the World Cup.
00:43:43They've achieved the target.
00:43:44Wish for David.
00:43:46It was another dream.
00:43:47Raise your glasses back home.
00:43:50Another dream come true.
00:43:54But...
00:44:04I was on tour.
00:44:07Not knowing when I was going to see him.
00:44:09That was the difficult thing.
00:44:12But he used to do anything to just try and spend time with me.
00:44:16He would sometimes charter a tiny, tiny plane.
00:44:20Like a two-seater plane.
00:44:22He would come over literally just for a few hours and then go back.
00:44:28This way.
00:44:30Soccer and Spice.
00:44:32Victoria, can you describe the ring for us?
00:44:34Posing for pictures after announcing their engagement.
00:44:38Everything about Victoria I loved.
00:44:43I didn't know she was the strong woman that she was.
00:44:47And I liked that.
00:44:49I don't know whether it was because I wanted her to look after me.
00:44:53You must have felt safe with her.
00:44:55Yeah. I did.
00:44:57They might have found love, but finding the time to be together could be the problem.
00:45:02While Beckham has his sights on the World Cup, the Spice Girls are about to start their world tour.
00:45:07She's a strong, strong woman.
00:45:09Can be a pain in the ass, though.
00:45:11She was a pain in the ass this morning.
00:45:15The England squad arrived today, setting foot on French soil in beige suits.
00:45:20They were dull and lacking in style.
00:45:22The suits, that is, say fashion editors.
00:45:24We had some shit suits, man. Some really bad suits.
00:45:27You could have had three of me in that one suit.
00:45:29It was that big and baggy.
00:45:31But Beck still looked good.
00:45:35I used to say, like, who's helping him with this shit?
00:45:38Are they fucking fitting his kit differently?
00:45:40Because he got into a tailor and getting his kit fitted.
00:45:42Because the way it looks on him, ain't the way it's looking on me right now.
00:45:51The World Cup is the spectacle of all spectacles.
00:45:56I mean, there is just no comparison.
00:46:00The viewing figures for England at the World Cup exceed anything in this country.
00:46:06It's estimated up to a million extra TVs will be sold to watch the first kick-off.
00:46:10What else is attracting 25 million people watching it?
00:46:14I mean, the royal wedding?
00:46:16Asda will be stacking up an extra 300,000 gallons of beer and lager.
00:46:21Relate, the relationship counselling organisation says,
00:46:24if your love life is already on shaky ground, France 98 could put the final boot in.
00:46:31Nothing generates the emotional collective narrative energies of the World Cup.
00:46:36It's the most important thing there is in life.
00:46:38But I think actually there are lots of other things in life that you can do and enjoy.
00:46:42Julian, there is nothing more interesting than World Cup football.
00:46:45Even you know what is not more interesting than the World Cup.
00:46:47I think there are some things.
00:46:49Excuse me.
00:46:52This is the moment that this idea of Englishness around the football team emerges.
00:46:57And people start talking about a golden generation of English footballers,
00:47:02which is like, there's an albatross to hang around one's neck, eh?
00:47:12If England have any kind of success at a tournament,
00:47:16I don't think any country unites like our country.
00:47:20Hmm.
00:47:35In the training camp, all the other players had had their wives and all their girlfriends there.
00:47:46But Victoria was touring the world at that point with the girls so I didn't get any time
00:47:52with them, with her.
00:47:54I went to Glen Hoddle and said before the tournament starts, is it OK if I go and see
00:48:00her?
00:48:00I haven't seen her for, I think it was seven or eight weeks.
00:48:05I think he said yes.
00:48:06I think Eva, no.
00:48:15He phoned me up, he went, oh Dad I'm in the paper, what for now?
00:48:19And he went, well I wore a sarong, I went, what the bloody hell's a sarong?
00:48:27So I rushed out and got the paper and I looked at it and I thought, bloody hell.
00:48:35And then I phoned him back, I went, do you know what, I said I like that, I see you
00:48:39look
00:48:39smart in it.
00:48:41And I'm like, that ain't going to work, that ain't going to work that.
00:48:51David Beckham, he's got his posh front one, he says here, so it's a skirt actually.
00:48:55This was like front page of the absolute shitfests of newspapers that existed at the time.
00:49:01He was feeding them like a frenzy.
00:49:03He was feeding them like a frenzy.
00:49:03It's up inside as well.
00:49:05Have you been keeping in touch with your fiance?
00:49:07Right.
00:49:08Did Victoria give you confidence outside of football?
00:49:11Yeah.
00:49:13Yeah.
00:49:14And I needed that at that time.
00:49:18So, what is the final word on the sarong or are you fed up with that?
00:49:22Yeah.
00:49:25Yeah.
00:49:25You haven't seen nothing yet.
00:49:27There's more to come.
00:49:29Maybe.
00:49:30Yeah.
00:49:31Just to get me through it.
00:49:32Yeah.
00:49:33Yeah.
00:49:39Beckham has to deal with an awful lot.
00:49:41How do you think he's coping?
00:49:42I think that's a half of his problem.
00:49:44I don't think he's been focused coming into this tournament.
00:49:47He hasn't been focused on his football.
00:49:49He came out and said that my head wasn't in the tournament and that he was worried about
00:49:55it.
00:49:55But he's got to understand that his football's got to come first and it's got to remain
00:49:58first.
00:49:59What's the mood like in the papers this morning?
00:50:01No, we don't get them like.
00:50:01Is it good?
00:50:02Bad?
00:50:03The comment he made about David was a public annihilation.
00:50:07Some of the tabloids have had to go pointing the finger.
00:50:09Glenn just created an absolute shitstorm publicly for David and for the whole country.
00:50:15Now, you're a teammate and you're a friend of David Beckham.
00:50:18He's just in the spotlight all the time.
00:50:20Do you feel for what he's going through at the moment?
00:50:24Erm, yeah, I suppose so.
00:50:27I don't think it affects David, to be honest with you.
00:50:30It killed me.
00:50:31It killed me.
00:50:32Especially someone that is questioning.
00:50:35He was questioning me as a player.
00:50:45My personality.
00:50:46My professionalism.
00:50:48And that's when the questions were being asked.
00:50:51Is he right for the tournament?
00:50:52Should he be in the squad?
00:50:55And then I get dropped to the bench.
00:51:02Beckham, the only player to have taken part in all of England's qualifying games, said
00:51:06it had been a bitter blow.
00:51:11We were all surprised.
00:51:12We were all shocked.
00:51:14And then we were talking about, why is he not playing?
00:51:16Why does Beck not playing?
00:51:17Why does Beck not playing?
00:51:17He's got to be playing.
00:51:18You know, it's madness.
00:51:19He should be playing.
00:51:21Do you feel there was any particular reason why you were left out?
00:51:26Erm, I don't think there's any particular reason.
00:51:28You know, the manager just told us the squad, it was for the game and then, er, that was
00:51:33it really.
00:51:34So, you know, I can't really say much.
00:51:36So now you have come to terms with it?
00:51:38Erm, not really.
00:51:40No.
00:51:40You know, I still wanted to play.
00:51:42I was desperate to play in it.
00:51:44In the end, it's up to the manager.
00:51:51David was down.
00:51:53He was down.
00:51:54He was low.
00:51:59David wanted to go home.
00:52:01He wanted to go home.
00:52:04I don't think he wanted to be there in the end.
00:52:06And did you think he was focused?
00:52:11He was.
00:52:14David struggled always when he was away from Victoria for long periods.
00:52:17He did.
00:52:18He did struggle.
00:52:19He has to admit that.
00:52:22Even though I'd been treated, I think, the way...
00:52:26...Hoddle had treated me,
00:52:29I still wanted to...
00:52:31...be there.
00:52:36This is the biggest setback of David Beckham's career so far.
00:52:39How he responds to this current setback could be crucial for him.
00:52:44I took a boom box and a bag of balls out.
00:52:48I put it on and I took free kick after free kick after free kick.
00:52:53I said wait.
00:52:55I said wait.
00:52:57Here I come.
00:52:58Here I come.
00:52:59Here I come.
00:53:00Here I come.
00:53:00You boys be ready.
00:53:01Cause here I come.
00:53:02Gary Neville believes Beckham has the strength.
00:53:04This is a test of character.
00:53:05David Beckham's character is magnificent.
00:53:09Hello, good evening.
00:53:10There's a tremendous sense of expectation for this one.
00:53:13No Beckham still.
00:53:15No.
00:53:15No.
00:53:17They really do have to lift this tempo.
00:53:22Oh, Adams is struggling at Mortimer.
00:53:25And Englander behind.
00:53:28David Beckham is about to come on.
00:53:32He should be really focused now, shouldn't he?
00:53:35He said he wasn't focused.
00:53:38Beckham's chasing after this one and got there first.
00:53:41Good play there by David Beckham.
00:53:43In the World Cup.
00:53:45And everything David Beckham has so far done has been very positive.
00:53:49Nah.
00:53:51But that's...
00:53:51That's all for ya.
00:54:00Glenn Hoddle said his head wasn't in the right place, didn't he?
00:54:09I just put him on my hit list.
00:54:12People that upset me.
00:54:15It's with Beckham.
00:54:17A little chip by him.
00:54:20Shearer's gonna turn it back and drive it across there.
00:54:23And England have equalised!
00:54:30And just look at the delights of the England fans.
00:54:35Well, 40,000 people can't be wrong, Brian.
00:54:37They shout for him to come on.
00:54:40Meanwhile, the non-selection of David Beckham continues to fester.
00:54:45It just saddens me that I stand here and have three questions about nothing about tomorrow's game.
00:54:51It's a bit disappointing.
00:54:53The Prime Minister wisely steered clear of the controversy.
00:54:56Fortunately, there are some decisions I have to take.
00:54:58There are other decisions for Glenn Hoddle.
00:55:00And he's the right man to take them.
00:55:01I'm in the darkness, heartless.
00:55:03Regardless, move at hardness.
00:55:04Y'all just press the charges.
00:55:05Assault an injury.
00:55:06Scorched enforce my entry.
00:55:07This finish entry.
00:55:08Knocking up his percent.
00:55:09It's like a man.
00:55:10Here are the men on whom England's responsibility rests to qualify for the next round of the World Cup.
00:55:17It's going to be a tense couple of hours.
00:55:23And you can see that he wanted responsibility.
00:55:27He wanted to be the guy who the team relied upon.
00:55:30Step forward.
00:55:32David Beckham.
00:55:35Beckham strikes.
00:55:36Oh!
00:55:37He's saved!
00:55:39Oh!
00:55:40There's one from the picture book.
00:55:44David Beckham, brilliant.
00:55:46Brilliant.
00:55:47Brilliant.
00:55:51Unstoppable.
00:55:55If they were to lose, OK, I've already reserved him on flights for Sunday and Monday to come
00:56:01and see me.
00:56:02And he could spend a fortnight with me.
00:56:03And if they win, then he can't come out for another couple of weeks.
00:56:08That's it!
00:56:10Woo!
00:56:13We're through!
00:56:13Nice one, David!
00:56:15Well done, babe!
00:56:17No, it was wicked.
00:56:19It was really good.
00:56:20We were all sat here watching.
00:56:23No, you look really nice.
00:56:24Your hair needs doing, though.
00:56:25Your roots need doing.
00:56:29No, you was really good.
00:56:30I was really proud of you.
00:56:41Now, back to England's World Cup showdown with Argentina.
00:56:44The teams will be coming onto the pitch in St Etienne in about an hour and a half's time.
00:56:52England fans relishing the build-up to the country's biggest World Cup game in years.
00:57:02France riot police guarded the ground, police marksmen too.
00:57:08Fans from across the world are here for a classic fixture.
00:57:12A game steeped in history.
00:57:16I was born in London and lived seven of the first ten years of my life in Buenos Aires.
00:57:21One thing I can state with absolute conviction is that there is no international rivalry remotely
00:57:28that matches that between England and Argentina, where there's this sort of, you know, almost
00:57:33blood rivalry, in particular from the Argentine side.
00:57:36The English stole the Falkland Islands from us.
00:57:41The English are pirates. They call them piratas.
00:57:46So all this stuff builds up, all this history, all this bitterness and in some cases hate.
00:57:51And then we come to Maradona.
00:57:53I was at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico four years after the Falklands War.
00:57:58Different class.
00:57:59When England played Argentina in the quarter final of the World Cup.
00:58:02Different class!
00:58:06I saw I was one of 120,000 people there.
00:58:11Maradona just walked away from Holland.
00:58:13That eternally famous hand of God goal.
00:58:18When Maradona handled the ball, all the players saw it. The only person who didn't see it was the referee.
00:58:23Was it a use of the hand that England are complaining about?
00:58:27Back in Argentina, the victory was fervently celebrated as vengeance for the Falklands War four years earlier.
00:58:34So things couldn't have been hotter.
00:58:37Will you encourage your players to follow Maradona's example and cheat if necessary to beat England?
00:58:45The streets of England lay completely deserted this evening.
00:58:48With much of the country in front of a television.
00:58:51Somewhere, somehow.
00:58:55At the bookmakers, there's already a 200,000 pound bet on England winning tonight.
00:59:00Will you be watching the match tonight, ma'am?
00:59:02Will you be cheering on England?
00:59:03Well, I think I should.
00:59:06I was in Brooklyn.
00:59:08I told David the night before the game.
00:59:13The game.
00:59:15The game.
00:59:17Before the Argentina game.
00:59:21She phoned me and said, I've just taken a test and I'm pregnant.
00:59:27Um.
00:59:30So I found out then.
00:59:33Um.
00:59:36He was so, so happy.
00:59:38We both were.
00:59:39And there was never any doubt in my mind that I shouldn't tell him.
00:59:43I mean, it was what we wanted.
00:59:46And he could not have been happier.
00:59:51So you tell him right before the biggest game of his life.
00:59:55Mm-hmm.
00:59:55Yeah.
00:59:58Were you, like, excited?
00:59:59Did you think it would help him for the game?
01:00:02I probably...
01:00:04I don't really know.
01:00:07Come on!
01:00:10When you find out you're a dad, don't you want to be with Victoria and get out of there?
01:00:14It's the first thing I wanted to do.
01:00:16But you couldn't, right?
01:00:17You couldn't, no.
01:00:18We were in a major tournament.
01:00:22I actually had this feeling, looking at the players that we had.
01:00:26Yeah, this team, this team's gonna win the World Cup.
01:00:28I can sense we had everything we needed in there.
01:00:31Come on!
01:00:37And then...
01:00:38And then...
01:00:39And then...
01:00:47No!
01:00:48By a emotion, not controlled.
01:00:50That's what I call it.
01:00:52Not controlled.
01:00:55You come to steal and you say, before you steal.
01:01:00No, I'm going to run after the victim.
01:01:03But when the victim comes and steal, you don't know how you react.
01:01:09The emotions are very personal.
01:01:12He was...
01:01:13He was a complex player.
01:01:15He was young.
01:01:16And for that time, to face a football player like Benka, like David...
01:01:21David...
01:01:22It was a stimulant.
01:01:27David Beckham finally arrived on the World Cup stage.
01:01:31And what a arrival!
01:01:32It was beautiful.
01:01:35And...
01:01:35And...
01:01:36We were not so much.
01:01:38So, that was a rivalry and a stimulant.
01:01:45It was a stimulant.
01:01:48It was a better match tonight.
01:01:56Look at the ball tonight.
01:01:57Oh, Beckham kept that in well.
01:01:59Well played, David Beckham.
01:02:02And then the game comes, man.
01:02:03And you're just like...
01:02:05Delicate little chip, look at the space for Beckham, one or two options open for him now, including Anderton on
01:02:10the far side.
01:02:13Oh, he's been a bad one there.
01:02:19All these kind of scenarios are running through your mind, what if this happens, what if that happens, what if
01:02:24it go down?
01:02:25They're on, such a powerful man, and Lopez almost getting away with him and in spotted that danger in a
01:02:30flash and finds Beckham.
01:02:32Beckham now to Owen, and here's another Owen run, he's going to worry them again.
01:02:37It's a great run by Michael Owen, and he might finish it off.
01:02:40Oh, it's a wonderful goal!
01:03:08But there's still a long way to go.
01:03:12Fútbol is a... es un juego de engaño.
01:03:14Place is buzzing here now.
01:03:19Y la verdad que sentíamos que el partido estaba para...
01:03:23Argentina get a free kick on the edge of the penalty area.
01:03:27Five in the wall from England plus one Argentinian.
01:03:32It's Verón who's played it.
01:03:33And then it's a great goal!
01:03:38Well, it's a great free kick.
01:03:41It's not just playing with the ball, it's emotions, controlling the balance.
01:03:46Remember, don't panic.
01:03:47Just keep calm.
01:03:49In comes Beckham, Beckham again.
01:03:51That might just fire up England all the more.
01:03:53And it's a great fun match there, not to be able to fight.
01:04:04You know, it's like we're here.
01:04:08It's not just the worst in that game.
01:04:09We're gonna have to fight.
01:04:10We're gonna have to fight.
01:04:12When the game comes back, we're gonna do it.
01:04:17We have to break the ball out of the game.
01:04:19You know, what's up for the game?
01:04:23The game that's definitely going through the game.
01:04:25Smacked into the Simeone, I think a yellow card is going to be brandished here somewhere
01:04:30and it might be to David Beckham.
01:04:33Wait a minute, he's taking another card out for Beckham, it's a red card for David Beckham.
01:04:38Oh no.
01:04:40So Beckham is out of the game.
01:04:58He did retaliate.
01:05:00I wanted to grab over the Simeone and just, you know, give him a right-hander.
01:05:04The way he went down, it's pathetic, he's meant to be, you know, a tough, hard man.
01:05:08You know, he's in midfield against me.
01:05:13Right in front of the referee, Brian.
01:05:15It was awful.
01:05:17People were shouting and then you can hear the aggression of the fans.
01:05:23The arpeggious moment has cost England dear and you can see from the whole sound, the signals there.
01:05:32Beckham dismissed.
01:05:34The pendulum swings quite firmly against England and Argentina's way.
01:05:47England have now played 74 minutes with 10 men.
01:05:53In any case, it's over, except for the penalty shootout.
01:05:58And that drama is still to come here in Saint-Étienne.
01:06:03But penalties, they had the chance of winning on penalties.
01:06:08So...
01:06:08People forget that.
01:06:09People do forget that.
01:06:11These are breathtaking moments.
01:06:13No matter how long you've been in the game,
01:06:15they are moments of the highest drama.
01:06:20And he scores.
01:06:24If he'd have stayed on, would they have won?
01:06:27Nobody knows.
01:06:30And he saves it.
01:06:36The arse kick.
01:06:40It's like most things, you know,
01:06:42you don't know.
01:06:43If he fails to score, England are out.
01:06:48Oh, and he hasn't!
01:06:52Argentina go through, and England go out!
01:07:01What a cruel way to go out.
01:07:04Unbelievable, Gary, unbelievable.
01:07:05I just...
01:07:07We couldn't ask more from the players.
01:07:08But a mad moment by David Macken probably cost you the game at the end of the day.
01:07:12It's cost us.
01:07:12It's cost us dearly.
01:07:15And we are absolutely distraught.
01:07:18When I watched Len Hoddle's interview, I thought,
01:07:20no, what have you done?
01:07:22He made it that it was David's fault.
01:07:25And I, you know,
01:07:28we'd been used to a manager.
01:07:30Alex Ferguson never spoke about his team.
01:07:32It's a bitter, bitter pill to take again.
01:07:35And we are absolutely distraught tonight,
01:07:37but very proud at the same time.
01:07:38But at the end of the day,
01:07:39it is a sending off the Scotts to England.
01:07:42I'm not denying that.
01:07:43They just blamed him after that.
01:07:47David Beckham needlessly and recklessly earning a red card.
01:07:50It's quite a tragedy.
01:07:51I mean, Beckham was a hero against Columbia.
01:07:55And a silly offender in this particular match,
01:07:58and he'll regret that for a long, long time.
01:08:00I just don't understand it.
01:08:01I mean, it's just...
01:08:02I just don't understand what he was doing.
01:08:06I went in front of the media.
01:08:07It was like the death run, really,
01:08:09because the questions were all about David.
01:08:12And they were all aggressive and pushy.
01:08:15They want blood.
01:08:17And I remember on the bus,
01:08:20thinking, this is going to be bad for you.
01:08:24I remember thinking that.
01:08:25And there's nothing I can do here to stop.
01:08:28What's going to come?
01:08:32I thought it was a moment of complete...
01:08:35It was a very, very silly audience.
01:08:36I guess we should have made him plainer so wrong,
01:08:38and he wouldn't have to go to cock his leg that high.
01:08:41Glenn Hubble has been vindicated.
01:08:43He should never wear an infant shirt again, should he?
01:08:45We should call him Stupid Spice in future, don't you?
01:08:49The hopes and prayers of a nation
01:08:50were resting on that one incident.
01:08:52He let the nation down with an absolute disgrace.
01:08:55The moon and back then.
01:09:01The moon and back then.
