David Beckham has revealed his taste for long socks and ballet shoes in an interview to be broadcast on the British BBC Radio 2 on Christmas Day. The LA Galaxy star said that as a young page boy he chose to wear knickerbockers, long socks and ballet shoes in preference to a suit. “My dad gave me a little bit of stick, but I was happy,” he said. David also answered questions from listeners on a variety of subjects ranging from his relationship with past and present coach as well as his family’s footballing skills. Of his son Brooklyn’s talents, Beckham said: “He’s got a great strike on him, a great right foot, and he kept the ball up 64 times. Eight years old, it’s pretty good!” His popstar wife Victoria, though, is “not great at goalkeeping”, but “she hasn’t really got a choice there. The boys all just tell her to go in goal and then just kick balls at her.”
