We're back with David Beckham.
And so you're now--
so you're retired from soccer.
But you decided you love soccer so much
that you want to own a team.
So now you own your own soccer team.
I do.
Was that a dream?
It's a real dream.
You know, obviously when I was playing the game,
I never even dreamt for a minute that I'd
become an owner of a team.
I always wanted to have a legacy in the game.
It's important to me, and also to my family,
for my kids to walk into that stadium
that we've built in 20 years time and say, Daddy built this.
That's something that I wanted to really have.
And it was just about giving back.
And yesterday when I was in the stadium for our first game,
it just really felt that this was the moment
that I'd always wanted.
I had young kids coming up to me-- boys, girls saying,
the reason why we play this game is because you came to America.
And that's what I always wanted from coming to America.
Obviously I wanted to win championships.
But more importantly I wanted to provide something
that most places that I've played in has--
a real kind of legacy and a real opportunity for children
to play this great game.
Yeah.
Well, good for you.
I'm so happy.
[APPLAUSE]
Thank you.
I mean, it's one thing to play a sport
that you love and are passionate about
and that you're brilliant at.
And then when you retire, there's
all these business opportunities.
But to actually stay within something
that you love and achieve that and grow it like that.
I have a question.
I'm going to look at your feet right now,
and I'm going to ask you a question.
I know what you're going to say.
Well, I just learned about this this morning,
that you have a theory that your feet have
grown a full entire shoe size.
Well, it's better my feet than my nose or my ears probably.
But yeah, my feet are still growing.
They really are.
Since when?
Well, when I used to play, which was--
I stopped playing seven years ago.
I used to have size 9 and 3/4.
That was the size of my boots that I
used to wear in the games.
Now, I'm a US 11.
I just can't understand it.
Are you retaining water?
Possibly.
Maybe that's what it is.
Maybe that's the reason.
All right, well, I got you a gift
because I heard about this, and you're a stylish guy.
And so I got you something that when your feet grow--
look.
That's not a natural thing, surely.
Yeah.
No, that's natural.
That's a good gift.
Thank you for that.
No matter what happens, you can wear these cool shoes.
Yeah, thanks.
All right.
More with David after this.
