Sir David Beckham’s bitter fallout with his eldest son Brooklyn has prompted fresh reflection on the football icon’s own painful past and a five year estrangement from his father that once left their relationship in tatters.
Brooklyn Beckham, 26, stunned fans on Monday by publishing a lengthy statement accusing his parents David and Victoria of being “controlling”, attempting to undermine his marriage to Nicola Peltz, and humiliating him. He also claimed his younger brothers Romeo and Cruz were being “sent” to attack him online.
