'It fell apart because he was Fergie's boy' | Gary Neville & Teddy Sheringham on David Beckham

Former Manchester United team-mates Teddy Sheringham and Gary Neville talk about the brilliance of David Beckham.

From his humble beginnings in East London to a global superstar, Neville and Sheringham give an incredible insight into why Beckham succeeded in football and more.

We discuss his technical ability, his fallout with 'parent' Sir Alex Ferguson, as well as his move from MUFC to Real Madrid, and why he went on to star at AC Milan, PSG and LA Galaxy. We also look at why his interest in Inter Miami is the continuation of a theme of boldness and brilliance.

Can't get enough about Gary talking about his old glory days. Always great!

[oldmanc]

Gary is very trained for TV.
Stays motionless when Teddy is speaking.
Great interview, good combination of interviewees. Thanks!

[willgoodall]

Neville's delivery was underrated too

[Howling-Mad-Murdock]

Great to hear Teddy’s input, we don’t hear enough from him.

[VenusInFurs]

Im argentinian, know nothing about english football but I remember 98 WC & that Sheringham was a good player, very dangerous along with Owen.

[noelormonde]

Didn’t matter how different Becks was he always did it on the pitch.

[NickyLong]

I still don’t think Beckham ever got the credit he deserved when he was playing. I think it’s only now he’s finished that we appreciate just how good he was

[jamiecunningham]

Lifelong United fan you forget just how good a player

[davidkavanagh]

People forget what he done as a player, every club he went to he left his mark and was respected by the top players in the world

[tonymverah]

Is Teddy even human??? He hasn't aged Abit! I will always remember that night at camp Nou....Oh Teddy absolute UNITED legend

[BLRayBanUK]

Yea cant deny it Beckham was quality tbf. LFC fan

[raphaelfrank]

Gary was also a great crosser of the ball doesn’t get said enough!

[UncledadBFD]

Sort your sound mixing out, this is ludicrously quiet. Especially compared to the adverts

[channelwanderer]

Always thought the best weapon this united had was Beckham and Giggs switching the ball from one wing to the other. A defence would align for a Giggs cross and five to ten seconds later they would be in disarray facing a cross from Beckham. Never seen a side doing this as efficiently before nor since. Beckham also developed other parts of his game when he moved on. His defensive game was almost nonexistent at Utd but really came on in Spain.

[KiatHuang]

Gary always giving it straight. A very interesting guy. Improve the audio on future interviews please.

[slumdog]
