One of the primary schools I work in Waltham Forest called Chase Lane School in Chingford is Beckham’s old primary school.
A few years back the school had a new Astro pitch installed in the playground and wanted an official opening. Beckham had previously been back to the school before through a BBC programme and the Headteacher had an email address for a PR agency that were involved in the event. He attempted to make contact through them to see if Beckham could come back to the school to do the official opening. No response from them. No drama thought the headteacher probably just never passed the message on to him worth a try.
Anyway a few weeks later this headteacher was walking up Chingford high road and bumped into Ted Beckham (Beckham’s dad). Told him the situation. Within seconds he phones David and they both agree to come to the school the following week.
Both Beckham and his Dad came back the next week ( just them no PR, management press etc) did an official opening of the pitch and stayed for rest of the day going into classrooms meeting the kids and some of his old teachers.Gave the school one of his old Real Madrid shirts and boots. No media coverage. Thought this summed up what a decent person David Beckham is.
David Beckham has finally received the one accolade that he really wanted: A knighthood. For David it's the second best thing to being a king but after intensive research by his PA, he realised there were too many in front of him in that Queue despite having a 'his and her's' thrones at the lavish wedding in Ireland.
Beck's is a nation treasure and loves the Royal family like his own children: Brooklyn, Epping, Miami and Leyton Sharon Stone his much loved princess or E Eleven, that her brothers call her.
Knighthoods are a medieval, archaic, anachronism but it's a British tradition and David deserves the title for his flag waving support for the 'Windsor's' and despite the leaked emails with the rant towards Katherine Jenkins back in 2013 for her gong.
Sir "Golden Balls" and Lady Victoria Posh totty spicy Adams Beckham are much loved and should replace Harry and Megan who were hooked and replaced off the bench by Dave and Vicky.
William, Kate, David and Victoria are a strong back four and defence for the house of Windsor.👫👫
I was sharking a girl back in the day and took her to a decent restaurant north of the Thames in rural Essex. As I was going to the can I saw David Beckham washing his paws. I told him what was going on and asked if he would mind, no biggie like, if he could stop and ask me how I am. He laughed and said of course he could
Anyway, I'm on fire, this chick is buying all my nonsense and we are looking good for a pit stop at a holiday Inn on my way back to civilisation South of the water.
Becks, good to his word stops by my table behind me, the girl/victim is wide eyed and agape, he taps me on the shoulder and goes "you alright Carter, how you doing pal"
I turned to him and said "fuck off goldenballs can't you see I'm on a date"
Only 50% of that tale is a lie and 1998 will be demanding their joke back
Seems a deserving knighthood. Rob's has got to be coming however. Nothing against Beckham.
Always liked his personality, and understated confidence. I listened to THAT Greece free-kick in a car on a Welsh mountainside, having just walked Snowdon with my mates. I'll never forget the moment we all went bonkers in the car, ala Del and Rodney in their 3 wheeler when they won big. It remains one of those, 'I remember where I was and who I was with' as the goal went in.

Well done Becks.
