Following Tottenham Hotspur’s dramatic Europa League final victory against Manchester United, David Beckham issued a message to the North London club.
Spurs defeated Beckham’s boyhood club, Manchester United, 1-0 as Brennan Johnson netted the only goal of the game in Bilbao. The Lilywhites lifted the trophy for the first time since 1984 and their first piece of silverware since 2008.
The current Inter Miami president had family members who were supporters of the North London club and he sent the club a message during their trophy parade in N17.
David Beckham’s message to Tottenham after beating Man United
Former Manchester United player David Beckham has revealed his grandad would be ‘one proud man’ after Tottenham Hotspur won the Europa League.
Beckham’s grandfather was a Spurs supporter before the 52-year-old’s dad, Ted, decided to support Man United and he followed suit.
Beckham replied on Spurs Official’s Instagram, writing: “My grandad would be one proud man @SpursOfficial. Congratulations.”
Beckham’s grandfather would have seen the last two UEFA Cup wins Tottenham produced in 1972 and 1984. Spurs became the first club to win the competition in 72′ and then won it again against Anderlecht, beating them over two legs.
When David Beckham trained with Tottenham Hotspur
Many Spurs supporters will remember when David Beckham trained at the club’s old training base back in January 2011.
The former England captain spent several weeks training with Harry Redknapp’s squad as he looked to build up his fitness during time off in the MLS.
The then 35-year-old was still contracted to LA Galaxy and he would have trained and he would have trained with players such as Gareth Bale, Luka Modric and Rafael van der Vaart.
