theblether Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I've just finished watching. Episode 2 in particular is brutal. I know football is an emotional game and long may that continue, however, what happened to Beckham was a disgrace. Overall it was a very good and informative watch. Talking points included: 1. It appears he inherited his OCD personality traits from his dad. 2. Alex Ferguson is a sociopath. The way he dismissed Beckham and refused to talk to him was a disgrace. 3. The Real Madrid players were comical, and seemed to take a shine to Beckham - except for the ridiculous amount of publicity and extra work he brought them. 4. And there's no doubt he loves Victoria. However, that second episode would leave a scar on anyone, we Scots are known for being crabbit at times, but dear me - the English know how to hold a grudge. Shocking.

brewsterbudgen Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 An extremely well made and enjoyable documentary. Both Becks and Posh come out of it very well. Glenn Hoddle and the tabloid press don't! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted October 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2023 He had alot of talent worked hard, played very well, and is beloved by many. Did he waste some of that talent? Maybe. I think the real question is how would most of us handle that kind of intense scrutiny? The constant paparazzi, the need to always be up and chipper and ready for the cameras, the mobs of fans, the women throwing themselves at you. For me fortune would be fun, but fame would be a huge burden, quite horrific and not something I would deal with well, most likely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jockstar Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I really enjoyed it. Even although DB isn't the brightest. I do believe he has good advisers around him. Not just taking the money and running. But keeping the brand and still making money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Obviously the documentary does not give some crispies on his extraconjugal goals ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
