Brooklyn Beckham’s former coach says star struggled to fit in with team mates due to his ‘crackers’ life

Brooklyn Beckham’s former football coach said he was “worried” about him, as he confessed that the star struggled to fit in with teammates due to his “crackers” life.

In Beckham v Beckham: The Price Of Fame?, a recent ITV documentary analysing the ongoing family feud, Anthony McCool, who coached him as a 14-year-old youth player at Queens Park Rangers, described Brooklyn as “very quiet”.

Sharing an anecdote where one of the Beckhams’ security rushed out to buy Brooklyn a whole crate of Lucozade when the then 14-year-old turned up without a drink, McCool said the whole team burst out laughing.

“He probably thought everyone was laughing at him. And that’s what made me quite sad.”
