Soccer legend David Beckham has revealed the genesis of his friendship with a football legend of a different kind, Tom Brady, as both enjoyed the UEFA Champions League Final from Munich.
The English A-lister hosted ‘Beckham & Friends’ as an alternative broadcast for Paris Saint-Germain’s 5-0 thrashing of Inter Milan for continental glory.
Brady stopped by in front of cameras, with the revelation of how two of the best at their individual sports came to be good friends.
‘We had an away game when I was playing with LA Galaxy,’ Beckham said, dating back nearly two decades on his time in Major League Soccer.
‘Romeo (Beckham) called me and said, “I’m going to throw balls over the park with Tom.” Tom had got in touch with Victoria (Beckham) and said he was taking his son over park and if one of the boys would like to join’
‘I said, “Tom who?” And he said, “Tom Brady.”
