Like the Chelsea flower show, collaborating with Alan Titchmarsh ffs

He's just absolutely and utterly desperate for attention

They must be hedging all their bets in the daughter now. Poor girl.

They are billionaires. How much attention and money does he need??

I don’t mind him. He’s a bit dopey, was obviously great at football back in the day, has made a huge success of himself… I laughed at the PP who said he’s been quietly squirrelling away trying to make himself into a national treasure for years! Can’t get worked up by the family tbh. Obviously really sad with Brooklyn, I hope they make up eventually. They’re imperfect, I have no doubt he cheated over the years … But who is perfect I guess.

And as I said before, I’d rather see him than someone from a reality TV show. At least he has some form of talent.

The David Austin rose is a licensing deal. They pay % sales for the use of the David Beckham name.

It’s also worth flagging up that David Beckham does not own the Beckham brand. It is 55% owned by a separate entity (Authentic Brands Group). All this is explained in the superlative BBC podcast ‘When it hits the fan’ - ep link below www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002qj6d?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile
