The 90s are relatively clear in my mind

Too young for Euro 96.
But I remember being allowed to stay up to watch the England - Argentina game at the 98 World Cup.

And seeing the person partly responsible for me supporting United getting sent off and the immediate backlash he received from it.

We hung an effigy of Beckham out the window at work and burnt it.

People are strange

Sadly we couldn't actually burn Beckham himself

A lot of people who were calling for him to be lynched were hero worshipping him after his goal against Greece..

Never could stand the cunt

[Randall]

Are we having a separate thread for the European diving championships?

So they can all fuck off.

Leave my Becks alone! (Not the lager)

Bit extreme.

This is Randall, are you surprised?

A little bit, yes.
Just seemed a bit extreme.

[Randall]

"My becks"

I worshiped him as a kid.

If I had idols as a kid I dont remember anymore

Churchill?

Possibly

Wouldn't be allowed now what with health and safety

The firm had royal visit once
Our department made it clear we were going to protest
Cunts locked us in

He was England's best player for many years...

Football fans are so fickle and pathetic at times....

Didn't Southgate get death threats after missing the penalty ?

Burning an effigy of a player, sadly sums up the mentality of many football fans

I love elvis's music but i wouldn't put him on a pedestal to worship.
I always wanted to be a goalkeeper so banks, shilton etc are the closest I could identify that with

Not two bad players at all.

Princess Anne
If you donate enough money to her charities she eventually shows up.
The boss also got invited to a garden party
She thought we should all be impressed

Banks with his one eye......

Yeah, I think Southgate did.
Beckham likely did as well.

Imagine if Foden did something similar and the same thing happened?
I wouldn’t even care that he plays for City.
Just leave the poor kid alone!

Beckham was only 22 at the time?
And social media wasn’t a thing back then, so at least he was saved from the backlash of that too.
