David Beckham ensured working-class English lads would never be the same again – a knighthood is the least he deserves
Following Becks around in my early career felt like peak Beatlemania GOLDEN BOY David Beckham ensured working-class English lads would never be the same again – a knighthood is the least he deserves SOMETIMES it's OK to doff your cap and admit your own shortcomings. And so it's time to say that, of all the working-class blokes called David born on the outskirts of East London in the mid-1970s, I'm not the most culturally significant. Advertisement 7 David Beckham fully deserves the knighthood he received over the weekend Credit: Getty 7 The Man Utd legend's impact on culture still holds today Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd 7 Beckham's most iconic moment on the pitch was arguably against Greece in 2001 Credit: The Sun 7 But his appearance in a sarong in 1998 nearly made as many headlines Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd I'm definitely not the most famous such David, nor the most handsome, nor the wealthiest, nor the best at football. As a knight of the realm and the godfather of metrosexuality, as a style icon and one half of the colossal global Brand Beckham, as a Treble winner, a Ballon d'Or runner-up and a member of England's 100-cap club, Sir David Galactico Goldenballs Beckham edges out the rest of us. Aged around 13, I once played against Beckham for Romford Royals against his Ridgeway Rovers in the Echo Junior League. He already had a reputation, was on Tottenham's books, and — though he was playing one age group above — he stood out. Advertisement READ MORE ON FOOTBALL GET YOUR FIX Fans think Premier League fixtures have been leaked with feisty opening games If my memory is correct, we were tonked and Beckham scored from long range. Although our keeper was vertically-challenged and the goalposts were full-sized. I'm pretty certain that of the other 21 kids on that pitch, none of us was included in the King's Birthday Honours List, none of us has been paid millions to pose in our undercrackers, none of us married a Spice Girl and none of us carried the Olympic torch on a speedboat during the London 2012 opening ceremony. In my late 20s, I spent three weeks touring Asia following Beckham and his new team-mates after he had moved between Manchester United and Real Madrid, the two most famous football clubs on Earth. Advertisement BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Across China, as well as Japan and Thailand, I've never experienced hysteria like it. In Tokyo, the screaming and swooning felt like the height of Beatlemania 40 years earlier. Darts ace Luke Littler bags huge gong in King's Birthday Honours alongside Strictly pair, Hollywood icon & ex-Towie star This newspaper sent three of us on the pre-season trip — two reporters and a photographer. Advertisement It cost a bomb but was worth every penny because everything about Beckham was front-page or back-page news. One night in Hong Kong, a group of us chatted to Beckham at the bar — we were hoping to have a proper sit-down interview which never materialised. That was the night he ended up being photographed looking cosy with his personal assistant Rebecca Loos, who alleged an affair with Beckham. But while I've covered many better footballers than Beckham, I've never experienced anything like the stratospheric levels of his fame in 2003. Advertisement 7 Beckham and wife Victoria in their early 2000s pomp Credit: Getty Beckham has been knighted for services to football and charity and, OK, he's done plenty for both. But equally he could be ennobled in ermine for his services to the male-grooming industry — which he pretty much invented — or to tattoo parlours, or what we used to call barbering. A few weeks ago, a 16-year-old called Felix, the son of a good mate, asked me how good Beckham had been. Advertisement After grimacing that this near-contemporary was now a historical figure, I replied that he was a very good footballer who was great at a couple of things — direct free-kicks and crossing. I told him few sportsmen had seen their reputations swing so wildly — from the halfway-line goal at Selhurst Park which launched him, to the red card for kicking Diego Simeone at the 1998 World Cup which saw his effigy hanged by a noose from a pub, to scoring the last-gasp free-kick against Greece which secured England's qualification for the next World Cup. But I also mentioned Beckham's impact on Felix and kids like him — indeed, on pretty much any man in Britain born after him — has been far beyond the scope of any of the significant things he achieved on a football field. Felix goes to the gym, he uses 'products', he cares what he looks like, he's bothered about what suit he'll wear to the school prom. And all his mates are the same. Advertisement I was nothing like that and nor were any of the kids I grew up with because we were (just about) pre-Beckham. What do David Beckham's tattoos mean? Hands Starting with the hands, and David Beckham has the word "Love" inked across the top of his left hand, with a swallow on either side. This is joined by the numbers 723, a combination of the shirts he famously wore for Manchester United and later Real Madrid. On his little finger, he has the year he was married. Becks also has a small female-stick figure designed by his daughter Harper. The devoted husband has "Posh' tattooed on a finger as a nod to wife Victoria Beckham's Spice Girls nickname. Arms Becks has two sleeve tattoos on both his arms with the centrepieces paying tribute to his marriage to Victoria. The most famous of his body art comes in the shape of her name along the inside of his forearm, which is inked in Sanskrit. Both Posh and Becks have Hebrew tattoos, which they got to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary. The matching tatts translate to, "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine". Meanwhile, Becks also has a separate rose inking on his left arm to mark the couple's tenth anniversary. Neck One of Beckham's most famous tattoos is on his neck, which is a gothic style cross and wings. It is symbolic of to his religion and acts as a protective guardian of his son Romeo, whose name is tattooed just below the angel wings. Beckham also has the name of his daughter, Harper, on the side of his neck. This was later updated to include the words "Pretty Lady", to mark her fourth birthday. Back Beckham's back tattoos serve as tribute to his sons. He has angel wings at the top as a sign of protection for them. Becks has both his eldest on Brooklyn, and his youngest son Cruz's names inked across his back. Body Beckham has a large chest tattoo that is an image of himself as Jesus, with three cherubs representing his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz. The footy ace also has a vertical tattoo down his left side in Chinese symbols - this translates as 'Death and life have determined appointments". Paying homage to his father, he has an inking of a ship at full mast - which is identical to the same one his dad has. After Beckham broke, working-class English lads would never be the same again. Beckham changed the way Englishmen looked, the way they acted and the way they thought. Before there were people on the internet called 'influencers', Beckham was THE influencer. Advertisement He is not particularly intelligent — though he is nowhere near as thick as often made out — and despite being in the public eye for 30 years, he's rarely said anything interesting. He is polite, decent and has a nice line in self-deprecation but he is hardly charismatic. He has never expressed any political allegiance nor been a strident campaigner for any cause. And he might not even have been the best footballer to have attended Chingford Foundation School — Harry Kane has a claim on that. Advertisement Yet his impact on our everyday lives has been more wide-ranging than any politician. Though heterosexual — by all accounts quite prolifically so — Beckham revelled in his status as a gay icon. He wore a sarong, had an angel tattooed across his back and changed his hairstyle every fortnight. None of these things seem unusual to the Love Island generation but before Beckham, straight, working-class English blokes didn't act like this. Advertisement Chris Waddle's mullet had remained unchanged for years. Posh and Becks' plan to make Harper Beckham a star David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly planning to help their daughter Harper become a star. The couple, who have already seen their sons Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz venture into the public eye, are said to be keen on guiding their youngest child into the limelight. Harper, who is 13 years old, has already shown a keen interest in fashion and beauty, much like her mother, Victoria. Victoria, a former Spice Girl turned fashion designer, and David, an ex-footballer, believe that Harper has the potential to make a significant impact in the entertainment industry. They are allegedly exploring various opportunities for her, including social media ventures and brand collaborations. The Beckhams are known for their savvy business acumen and are reportedly ensuring that Harper's foray into stardom is carefully managed. The couple's decision to support Harper's ambitions comes as no surprise, considering their own successful careers and the prominence of their family in the media. With her parents' guidance and the resources at their disposal, Harper could very well follow in their footsteps and carve out her own niche in the world of fashion and entertainment. Beckham's later work as an ambassador for Qatar — where homosexuality is illegal — suggests a certain cynical opportunism in his earlier actions. Icon, you con, he cons. But he did undoubtedly play a major role in making homophobia socially unacceptable. Advertisement His impact on society has been more good than bad. Going to the gym is healthy. Taking pride in your appearance is good to a point — although I fear many more boys now suffer from the same 'body image' obsessions that have plagued girls for decades. And whatever you think of the Honours system — personally I'm not a fan — this knighthood means the world to Beckham. After missing out in 2017, leaked emails suggested he referred to the Honours committee as a 'bunch of c***s' — and, although he claims he was hacked, this did display an authentic East London turn of phrase. Advertisement Yet, after becoming Sir David this weekend, Beckham claimed: 'I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour.' Like most of us, Beckham is made up of many contradictions. After Beckham broke, working-class English lads would never be the same again. Dave Kidd It seems to me that if you're going to have an Honours system, it would feel weird for Beckham not to be knighted. Because Beckham — prettier than ever at 50, despite denying the use of 'Brotox' — is simply everywhere. Advertisement From his role as co-owner of Inter Miami at the Club World Cup, to stripping naked in an advert for designer drawers, to the family feud that leaves the Beckhams only second to the Royals in the national consciousness. For me, the Beckham phenomenon is best summed up by his role in England's 2010 World Cup campaign. He was 35 by then, his international career over and playing Major League Soccer for Los Angeles Galaxy. Though Beckham was neither a player nor a coach, England's manager Fabio Capello — not usually one for frippery — employed him to hang around the dugout looking handsome and stylish in a three-piece suit, just being David Beckham. Advertisement No other Englishman of his generation has ever been paid to do a thing like that — and certainly no other David born on the outskirts of East London in the mid-1970s. 7 Beckham had a unique role with Capello's England at the 2010 World Cup Credit: AFP

Lily Allen breaks her silence after being spotted on a 'date' with James Norton
Lily Allen has returned to social media after she was spotted looking cosy with actor James Norton, with the pair said to be 'enjoying each other's company' over the weekend Singer Lily Allen has posted on social media for the first time since being spotted looking cosy with British actor James Norton. The mum-of-two, whose marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour ended earlier this year, looked happier than ever as she spent some time with the Happy Valley actor over the weekend. Lily, 40, and James, 39, were spotted enjoying each other's company over the weekend, sparking rumours of a budding romance. The Smile hitmaker looked radiant in a black mini skirt and white t-Shirt as she spent time with James at the Lido Festival in East London on Saturday. James, who recently became single after parting ways with his model girlfriend, is also rumoured to be on Raya, where he has reportedly matched with Lily. The two were spotted at the festival, opting out of the VIP section to enjoy acts like Charli XCX among the crowd with cans on non-alcoholic beer. At one point, Lily was seen leaning into James, and the two appeared to be at ease with each other, with James visibly giggling at her antics. Festival-goers were reportedly doing double takes upon spotting the pair together as they sipped on alcohol-free beverages. Following the snaps circulating online, Lily returned to social media on Monday afternoon - but failed to address the rumours she has a new man in her life. The singer-turned-actress instead used her Instagram Stories to promote the latest instalment of her BBC podcast series with Miquita Oliver, Miss Me? Earlier in the day, Instagram's very own Gossip Girl DeuxMoi shared a message from a fan that was at the Chari xcx afterparty that claimed "Lily Allen [was] getting very cosy with James Norton". "Good for Lily especially after that drama with David," one Instagram user penned in the comment section, with another adding: "Alright Lily. What a rebound." Lily admitted she struggled in the wake of her split from American actor David after the former couple called it quits in December, ending their four-year marriage. Rumours swirled earlier this year that David had been unfaithful during their marriage, with claims of him being seen on a celebrity dating app while still wed to Lily. David has yet to respond to the allegations of infidelity or using a dating app during his marriage. In a candid admission during a live podcast recording at the Hackney Empire in London back in March, Lily reflected on the split and confessed to the audience, "I am not over it." She further revealed, "I am sort of running away. Maybe I will have a nervous breakdown." Meanwhile, David has also opened up about his personal struggles, admitting to having let himself go "physically and emotionally." His comments came shortly after he confirmed the split by appearing without his wedding ring on the red carpet at the Thunderbolts premiere. When questioned about the split, David initially responded with a mere "Oh boy," but later explained his decision to remain tight-lipped, citing his desire to protect the people involved and the reality of his life. In an interview with GQ Magazine, David expressed his reluctance to engage with the surrounding hype, which he believed was based on "hysterical hyperbole."

‘For a small island, it has an enormous coastline': Timmy Mallett cycles 3,500 miles around Irish seaboard
Former children's TV presenter Timmy Mallett aimed to 'bring a smile with every mile' as he cycled more than 3,500 miles around Ireland's entire coastline. The English broadcaster is best known for presenting roles on TV-am and the Wide Awake Club, as well as for his 1990 number one hit 'Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini'. Recently, the 69-year-old has taken to the coastal roads of the island of Ireland, after circumnavigating all of Great Britain in 2023. Having cycled all 905 miles around NI last year, he initially returned this year to tackle the Wild Atlantic Way. However, with bathroom renovations still ongoing at home, his wife encouraged him to tackle the whole of the island. Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph at the Titanic Slipway — his starting point three months ago — Mallett said he was largely inspired by his late brother Martin, who passed away in 2018. 'I have two big brothers: Paul, the eldest, and Martin,' Mallett explained. 'Martin, with language and learning difficulties, never let Down's syndrome define him. 'You found that Martin would live every minute of the day in the moment, the here and now. 'I realised that with Martin, with his gift for living in the now, it was really important. He would say: 'Ah, buba, you and me. I'm happy.' 'So, this is a journey about inspiring people to reach their potential. We don't have to be the best yet, just the best that we can be. 'I am keen on curiosity. I think curiosity is a fine and fabulous attribute that we don't pay enough attention to. 'I like seeing what you can find on your own around the corner. 'I cycled round the coast of Waterford. I came to 'Norn Iron' to see if I could do a circumnavigation of it. Nine-hundred and five miles later, [I realised] it's an enormous country. That is when I heard a small voice: 'Don't forget the forgotten county' — Donegal, further north, which is weirdly in the South. So, I did another 550 miles covering the coast of Donegal, all those finger peninsulas. 'That is when I wondered if I could do some more, to go down the Wild Atlantic Way. 'Two months later, I go to Kinsale, and Mrs Mallett said: 'Well, I am doing the bathroom in the house... Why don't you just keep going to see how far around the rest of the country you can go?' 'That is what this moment [arriving at Titanic Slipway] is about, because I have now cycled around the entire coast of the island of Ireland. For a small island, it has an enormous coastline. It transpires that I have cycled over 3,500 miles. That's a lot of coastline.' With such a famous face on the road, Mallett was stopped 'every kilometre, every day' by fans. 'It's a wonderful and joyful moment, because I make it a rule to always stop. I have found that this island... the Irish have a profound gift for kindness and generosity. There is a warmth of a welcome that is truly lovely. 'There is something special to somebody around these islands. Some highlights would include going to Blacksod Lighthouse in Co Mayo. 'There, I came across the grandson of Maureen Sweeney. In 1944, Maureen had been sending weather reports which she didn't know were crucial for the D-Day landings. 'Now, at the same time, my mum was working at the Supreme headquarters on the weather forecasting for D-Day. 'Maureen's grandson Fergus says that on that day, when she sent her weather forecast, a squeaky-voiced English lady picked up the phone to check the report. 'And I love the fact that these two women had a role in this titanic struggle of the time in D-Day. 'It was lovely to hear the other side of that story 80 years later. I think it has been an important pilgrimage.' When asked about his transition from TV presenter to adventurer and painter, Mallett described his life as having 'different aspects'. 'I think that we all have different aspects in our lives, and talents can be important for us to develop. 'I've been lucky enough. I had a great TV career, I had a number one hit record throughout the world, and now my art is collected across the globe. 'The important thing really is to reach our potential, make the most of each and every day, and to bring a smile. Bring a smile with every mile.'
