He then abruptly stands from his seat in a swift motion, saying: ‘And then I’ve gone like that!’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The producer asks: ‘You went at him?’ In response, Beckham nods and says: ‘Yeah’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although\u00a0Ferguson was known for giving players his notorious hairdryer treatment during team talks, it later emerged that he was targeting a pile of clothes on the Old Trafford changing room floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the incident back in 2017, Beckham said: ‘I’d made a couple of mistakes during the game and he came into the changing room and we had a couple of words.<\/p>\n
‘He started to walk over to me and he kicked a pile of clothes on the floor. Out came this boot and it hit me and then I realised how accurate he actually was!’.<\/p>\n
During the trailer,\u00a0the ex-Galactico touched on one of the most controversial moments of his career; that red card against Argentina.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the 1998 World Cup, Beckham was sent off for kicking the back of Diego Simeone’s leg with his heel in England’s round of 16 defeat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
And in the new documentary, the 48-year-old revealed that in the wake of the incident, he wasn’t ‘eating’ or ‘sleeping’.<\/p>\n
‘I don’t think I’ve ever talked about, just because I can’t,’ Beckham said. ‘I wasn’t eating. I wasn’t sleeping. It took a toll on me that I never even knew, myself’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The streaming giants’ new release, entitled ‘BECKHAM’, will be a four-part series and will land on their platform on October 4th.<\/p>\n
