blah blah David Beckham "went for" Sir Alex Ferguson when the Manchester United boss kicked a boot which hit his face, the Real Madrid star has revealed.
Beckham was restrained by team-mates as he lost control after being hit by the flying boot following defeat to Arsenal in February 2003, the serialisation of his autobiography, My Side, in The Sun newspaper, revealed. Following the loss, Ferguson allegedly blamed Beckham for one of the goals, prompting a dressing room bust-up between the pair. Beckham said: "I felt like I was being bullied in public, and being backed into a corner for no reason other than spite." Recalling his reaction when hit by the boot, Beckham said: "I went for the gaffer. I don't know if I have ever lost control like that in my life before." Former team-mates Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Ruud van Nistelrooy restrained Beckham, who likened the scenes to something from a gangster movie. Ferguson apologised for the incident shortly afterwards. The team eventually went on to overhaul Arsenal's Premiership lead and win the title, but Beckham was still sold to Real Madrid. Previous excerpts from the book revealed how Beckham and Ferguson's relationship had soured over the last two years. Beckham has since enjoyed a fairytale start to his Real career, scoring two goals in a week for his new club. ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
