Sven-Goran Eriksson has revealed he once tried to sign David Beckham for Leicester City - but claims the coup was scuppered by Victoria Beckham.
Eriksson, who was managing Leicester at the time, says he attended a dinner with the Beckhams whilst David was playing for American MLS club LA Galaxy and asked the superstar if he’d consider returning to English football.
But as Becks - who was around 35 at the time - considered the offer, Eriksson’s bubble was burst by Spice Girl Victoria, who asked the former England boss, ‘Sven, can you see me in Leicester?’.
