"And I thought his Dad came across as thick cunt"
Probably because he spent all his time concentrating on the skill that would make him an multi millionaire, rather than school work that wouldn't.... and he's the thick one...

Oneside fella - Yea I know Brooklyn went on to have a very privileged life, the yank woman he married has richer parents than he has. I was only pointing out that their kids weren't spoilt, so not sure why you got yourself so wound up, a bit odd.
As for his old man, who cares about his IQ level, maybe he is 'thick' so fucking what, I just commented that he seems like a good old school bloke and that he played a huge part in Beckham progressing through the ranks as a kid. Again, not sure why you got yourself so wound up.

It was MUCH better than I was expecting (which really wasn't much, to be fair). He comes across as a good bloke, which I suspect he is for the most part. I felt she was much more considered in what she said, like she was thinking ahead. I'm glad it made Glenn Hoddle look like a cunt, because he is.
I was intrigued how they'd deal with Rebecca Loos as they'd been pretty honest (seemingly, anyway) about life up to that point. When it happened they denied it and said they'd sue, which naturally they didn't. I knew they wouldn't deny it and I couldn't see him admitting it - and in the end neither happened. They didn't call it rumours, just talked about how difficult the whole time was and generally sidestepped it (which really is a massive admission). Loos wasn't referred to.
Enjoyed him pulling her up on exaggerating stuff, like how she got to school. It made him seem funny and honest, but it made her look a bit disingenuous.

Might get round to watching it some point but understand as said its just a massive Beckham controlled PR piece.
You have to give the guy credit .... he has amassed a tremendous fortune and profile from probably being about the 5th best player in the great Ferguson Man U team.
Understand he tries to pretend that the stories about him poking Rebecca Loos (and others) were just hurtful rumours.

That's an interesting take Manuel. I thought it was a massive pufff piece... and getting Brooklyn to do the odd Saturday job has really helped the failed actor, model, photographer and chef - in whose career development multiple millions of other peoples money has been spunked - boasting Elton John, David Furnish and Liz Hurley as godparents and who's status is now merely described as a 'socialite' keep his feet formly on the ground. And I thought his Dad came across as thick cunt

Cholo - Fair point, but at least he isn't Wall.
He just reminded me of a typical dad on a Sunday morning when I was playing football as a kid. A dying breed that type of character.

Hang on, in the very same sentence you say he seems like a good bloke, then go on to call him a massive cunt.
Make your mind up!

Enjoyed it Alfs, found myself a bit bored at times, but overall, as you say, it was well made. Thought they spent too much time on the sending off against Argentina and the aftermath that followed, which now looks massively OTT, most people don't even give a fuck about the national side now, and I had forgot that his first game back was at our place, lol.
The fella is a grafter with a lot of self belief, and very dedicated to what he does/did, you can't deny him that. I didn't realise how much of an influence his old man was on him when he was a kid playing football growing up, to the point where Beckham may have not even made it had it not been for his old man pushing him so hard like he did and not letting him get carried away He seems like a good bloke too, massive Man Utd fan.
I'll also credit Beckham and his missus for not spoiling their kids and making them realise the value of a pound note, sending them out, when they were old enough, to do Saturday jobs, so they could buy their own sneakers, etc.
