There, there David – we'll play
football with you anytime you like.
Speaking to ABC News, David admitted that his kids feel like there's no point playing, as they think they'll never be as good as him.
“I'd love them to play soccer, but I want them to be happy doing it, you know.”
“One of my boys turned around to me the other day, he said: 'Daddy, you know, I'm not sure I want to play football all the time…' It broke my heart a little bit.”
“He said, ‘Every time that I step onto the field, I know people are saying, you know, ‘This is David Beckham 's son,' and if I'm not as good as you, then it's not good enough.' I said, ‘Okay, stop right there… You play because you want to play.”
Cor, wish we had Dave on hand to give us a little prep talk like that when we were feeling a bit rubbish…
The former England international has been speaking a lot lately about his post-football career, and how acting might be his new 'bag'.

The former England international has been speaking a lot lately about his post-football career, and how acting might be his new 'bag'.
He said: “I've never, ever thought about going into any kind of acting. People have actually started talking about me and my new career of acting, which – it's not my new career of acting, it's just something that I'm kind of stepping into and enjoying myself with.”
Well as long as you're still being dead fit Dave, we don't really care what you do.
