Rebecca Mead on the Netflix docuseries “Beckham,” about David Beckham and his wife, Victoria, formerly of the Spice Girls.
Posh and Becks, as the tabloids called them—nice short words, great big headlines—were a celebrity match made in heaven. They were also a match made in David’s fantasies, it turns out, even before the couple’s first encounter. He tells the documentary’s director, Fisher Stevens, about seeing a Spice Girls video while he and Neville were idly watching TV one day. “I turned round to Gary, I went, ‘See that one there? I’m gonna marry that one,’ ” David remembers.
There’s the loving way she gets emotional recalling the most ignominious chapter of David’s career—when, in a moment of petulance during a momentous match against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, he kicked an opponent and was ejected from the game. England lost, and embittered fans subjected David to a months-long campaign of vilification, with everyone from the tabloids to Tony Blair suggesting he was responsible for the national loss. He was hanged in effigy outside one pub.
