00:00 Tonight we bring you the story of how David Beckham became a global phenomenon.
00:07 David Beckham, unstoppable!
00:11 I never really did well at school, because all I ever wanted to do was play football.
00:18 My manager kept saying, "Try and keep it under wraps."
00:23 So we would meet in car parks and that's not as serious as it sounds.
00:27 Classy.
00:28 I suppose that most blokes that have looked at televisions that are like her,
00:31 you don't fucking end up with them.
00:33 My life had become something different.
00:37 We were worried that he'd lose all what he'd worked for,
00:40 because football come first and all of a sudden it wasn't.
00:43 It definitely didn't change me.
00:46 We changed. There's no doubt about that.
00:55 I don't think I've ever talked about it, just because I can't.
00:58 I wasn't eating. I wasn't sleeping.
01:03 It took a toll on me that I never even knew myself.
01:08 Ferguson admitted he had kicked the boot accidentally striking Beckham.
01:14 And then I've gone like that, and then I've gone like that.
01:16 You went at him?
01:17 Yeah.
01:18 It's really entertaining when the circus comes into town, right?
01:20 Unless you're in it.
01:23 Sorry, Buster. They can't get in the car.
01:25 We were drowned.
01:27 But he just kept going.
01:30 I don't give up easy.
01:33 It's Beckham.
01:34 He's done it now.
01:37 I don't give up.
01:38 I felt very vulnerable and alone.
01:45 Be honest.
01:48 I am being honest.
01:52 Who are you going to kick it like?
01:53 David Beckham.
01:55 If I told him how good he was, then he's got nothing to work at.
01:59 I remember saying to Becks, "Fuck you and our team."
02:03 What do you do afterwards?
02:06 Sink or swim.
02:07 There was something inside him, that determination.
02:11 You haven't seen nothing yet.
02:19 There's more to come.
02:21 Maybe.
