DAVID BECKHAM has revealed he fancied wife Victoria as soon as he laid eyes on her.

Luckily for the former Manchester United star she immediately felt the same way too, so it was not long until they began dating.

Victoria, 49, revealed how she would attend matches at Old Trafford just to see Becks, with the pair first meeting in 1997.

She said on the soon-to-be-released documentary 'Beckham': "The fact I went to games really was just to kind of, some would say stalk him, I would say see him.

"When I saw him in the footballers' lounge, all the other footballers were at the bar, but he was standing, talking to his parents.

"And I'm very close to my family, and I loved that side to him.

"I just, I just fancied him, it was as simple as that."

Beckham, 48, admitted to team-mates he was attracted to Posh Spice after watching her in music videos.

And it was the same when they first met, with Becks putting it simply: "The first time I spoke to her, I just fancied her."

The former England captain previously admitted he was overcome with shyness when he first spoke to his future wife, and did not have the nerve to ask her out.

The couple eventually got together and used to meet up in car parks to avoid the media's attention.

They were engaged within a year before marrying in 1999 and they have four children together - Brooklyn, 24, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 18 and Harper, 12.
