Who would’ve thought that cheeky young lad from Chingford would one day become Sir David Beckham? Teddy Sheringham didn’t! The former football star was in awe as he watched his old teammate receive a knighthood from King Charles himself. Teddy remembers Beckham as a playful “school kid” back in their Manchester United days, always sharing a laugh with Gary Neville.
This prestigious honour comes as a recognition of Beckham’s stellar contributions to sport and charity. It’s clear he’s come a long way from those giggling sessions in the United dressing room. Reflecting on Beckham’s journey, Sheringham expressed his delight: “It’s surreal to see David knighted. I couldn’t be happier for him and his family!”
The knighthood ceremony was a family affair, with Lady Victoria and Beckham’s parents proudly witnessing the moment. Adding a touch of elegance, Victoria designed the suit David wore, earning a nod of approval even from King Charles, renowned for his sartorial flair. David modestly credited the King for inspiring his look, sharing, “I wanted something classic, and Victoria made it happen.”
Beyond football, Beckham’s enduring legacy and love for his country shine brightly. He proudly shared, “People want to talk about the monarchy wherever I go. It makes me proud to represent the UK.”
From playing alongside Teddy to this remarkable honour, David Beckham’s journey continues to inspire! 🎉 #SirDavidBeckham #Knighthood #FootballLegend #BritishPride
