As David and Victoria Beckham count 21 years of marriage, the footballer remembers their meeting as if it were yesterday, describing every detail from the day he met his beloved, for the first time in person.

Giving an interview on the “Tonight Show” he described in detail how they met.

“I met her when she came to see me at a game in London with her manager and one of the Spice Girls, the sportswoman. We all knew the Spice Girls because they were hugely popular back then. I was at Manchester United. We all had our favorite Spice Girl. Obviously Victoria was my favorite too. So yeah, that’s how I first met her,” he initially said.

“I hadn’t spoken to her that day. The following week, he came back to Manchester to watch another match. And I had some drinks then, we were drinking and I decided to talk to her. I said ‘why not? I’ll try to get her number,” he said afterwards.

He then revealed that after 21 years he still has the ticket that Victoria wrote her number on.

“We talked for about an hour and then, he had to take the train and leave. She wrote her number on the ticket she had, which I still have. 20 years later and 4 children and I still have it”, he emphasized at the end.
