International
soccer star David Beckham’s professional career began with Manchester United in
1992, part of a rookie talent pool that has been unrivaled more than 20 years
later. In the upcoming documentary, Class of ’92, Beckham and former
United teammates Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, and Paul
Scholes recount their most intimate memories from their time with the club. Metro has unveiled details the former
England captain shared about the hazing he experienced at United.
‘One of mine
was surprising! The Clayton Blackmore!’
Recalling
his teen horror, he said: ‘Everyone had an initiation that you had to go
through on the youth team, that was one of the most uncomfortable ones!’
‘The fact
that I had to look at Clayton Blackmore’s calendar and do certain things, while
looking at Clayton Blackmore…’
‘I mean it
was embarrassing to talk about!’
Forced to recall
the full scale of the horror on camera for the documentary, the 38-year-old
said: ‘I was embarrassed when I was saying it on camera let alone talking about
it more. But it’s something that we all had to go through. It was definitely
something I wouldn’t like to go through again!’
Beckham’s
story comes in the wake of Miami Dolphins lineman Jonathan Martin’s allegations
that he experienced locker room hazing throughout his time with the team.
Martin’s claims are currently being investigated by the NFL.
Beckham
began his career with Manchester United in 1991 as a member of the youth squad.
When he turned professional, United loaned him to Preston North End from
1994-95. When Beckham returned to Manchester, his career skyrocketed.
Beckham and United won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and a UEFA
Champions League trophy.
