David Beckham turned up in St John’s Wood last night for a rare intimate chat about his life.
Becks spoke for the first time about signing Lionel Messi for the US soccer team he owns, Inter Miami. The ex-England captain said he was proud when he heard Messi, wanted to come to his club, while he was “still a great player”. “It was a massive moment for us,” he said, though he added that deal was still not announced. One audience member asked why Messi wasn’t signing for Salford City, the other club he owns, and Beckham laughed: “Argentina is closer to Miami, I think that was a pull for Leo.”
