David Beckham Became "Clinically Depressed" After the 1998 England Red Card

"I don't think I've ever talked about it, just because I can't," David says of the period after the game. The press and public were gunning for him as many blamed David's actions as the reason England didn't progress in the tournament.

"I find it hard to talk through what I went through because it was so extreme. The whole country hated me," he says. "Wherever I went I got abused every single day. To walk down the street and to see people look at you in a certain way, spit at you, abuse you, come up to your face, and say some of the things that they said. It's difficult."

David stopped eating and sleeping as he struggled with his mental health. "He was absolutely broken, he was in pieces," Victoria says. "He was really depressed, absolutely clinically depressed. It pained me so much. I still want to kill these people."
