David Beckham\u2019s new four-part documentary series, Beckham<\/a>, promised to tell the unfiltered story of one of the most celebrated and scrutinised athletes of all time, and it may have done just that.<\/p>\n

The docuseries gave fans a never-before-seen insight into how the footballer really is, from interviews with the man himself to those around him who know him best.<\/p>\n

As the documentary became available to stream, several stand-out moments emerged, including David and Victoria Beckham breaking their silence<\/a> on allegations that David had an affair with his former personal assistant, as well as an amusing moment of Victoria passing off that she came from a working class background.<\/p>\n

With the documentary continuing to draw in viewers worldwide, here are 5 of the biggest revelations from Netflix\u2019s Beckham.<\/p>\n

During the 1998 World Cup in France, David Beckham\u2019s reputation as England\u2019s golden boy took a turn for the worse when he kicked the back of Argentina captain Diego Simeone\u2019s leg.<\/p>\n

David revealed during the documentary that the hate he received following the controversial red card caused him to become \u201cabsolutely clinically depressed\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhat I went through was so extreme,\u201d he told the cameras. \u201cThe whole country hated me. Hated me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt changed my life. I felt very vulnerable and alone. Wherever I went I got abuse every single day\u2026 It took a toll on me that I never even knew myself. People look at you in a certain way, spit at you, abuse you, come up to your face and say some of the things that they said. That was difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

Victoria Beckham added the \u201cpublic bullying\u201d her husband received was \u201canother level\u201d.<\/p>\n

Victoria told David she was pregnant with Brooklyn the night before the Argentina match<\/strong><\/h2>\n
