Beckham intended to attack Ferguson in the 'flying shoe' incident

At that time, after losing to Arsenal in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Ferguson angrily entered the Man Utd dressing room. He kicked a pile of clothes, including a shoe. Unfortunately, the shoe flew into Beckham's face, causing the former England captain to have to have several stitches on his eyebrow

In 2017, Beckham recalled this incident. He recalled: "I made a few mistakes in that match and then he came into the locker room and we argued a little bit. He started walking towards me and kicked a bunch of clothes on the floor. The shoe flew up and hit me. At that moment, I realized how accurately he could kick."
Also in the trailer of the upcoming film, Beckham recalls one of the most controversial moments of his career - the red card in the match against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup. At that time, the former midfielder stepped on Diego's leg. Simeone in the match in the 1/8 round and then was expelled. "I never thought I would repeat this. It made me lose food and sleep. It left me with a pain that I probably didn't even realize," he admitted.
