The Things They Say: The Beckhams

"My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about seven."

"Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had."

"I definitely want Brooklyn to be christened, but I don't know into what religion yet."

When asked if he could be described as a volatile player - "Well, I can play in the centre on the right and occasionally on the left side."

"I needed two stitches after Alex (Ferguson) kicked the boot at me."

"I have come to accept that if I have a new haircut it is front page news. But having a picture of my foot on the front page of a national newspaper is a bit exceptional. "

"I always used to go for blondes and quiet girls, but Victoria is the total opposite - dark and loud. "

On being put out of the World Cup: "That was the past, this is the future. "

"We've been asked to do 'Playboy' together, me and Victoria, as a pair. I don't think I'll ever go naked, but I'll never say never. "

"When I was 7 I wanted to be a footballer, but when I was 14, I wanted to be a model. Look where it's put me now!"

"He (David Beckham) is just pretending I'm rubbish at interviewing - which is why he keeps giving me all these one-sybil answers."

"Some people think I have not got the brains to be that clever, but I do have the brains."
