David Beckham: Soccer Legend Was Right to Challenge Referee at Kids’ Game in LA
World football legend and international superstar David Beckham was ordered to leave the sidelines during a children’s game that was taking place before his son’s game.Yes, this is true.
Beckham revealed the story on The Jonathan Ross Show:
"I was watching the kids play the other day, it was the younger kids of Romeo's club, and there was a penalty given. And the kids are seven years old and he sent the kid off. And I was like, 'Come on, he's seven, referee, you can't send him off.' He looked at me and was like, 'Yes, I can.' And he came over and gave me a red card. He told me to get out of the park.
