Beckham: Victoria Has Been My Rock

By Oliver Holt Chief Sports Writer
HIS critics have labelled David Beckham's bid to regain his place in the England team as Mission Impossible.
But David is determined to prove them all wrong after turning to Tom Cruise for advice.
Becks and Tom are friends and the movie hero has travelled to Spain to watch the former England skipper play for Real Madrid
So when David was still reeling from being axed from the England squad by new boss Steve McClaren last month, he turned to Tom for advice.
Tom has had his own brush with adversity recently after he was dumped by movie giants Paramount.
But when Becks, 31, landed in Los Angeles the day McClaren told him he was "a casualty" of his new regime, he phoned Tom.
"The first person I spoke to after I'd finished talking to Steve was my wife," David said.
"Victoria has been my rock all through the World Cup and she's stayed strong for me through all the adversity afterwards.
"I spoke to Gary Neville, my manager, Terry Byrne and my family as well and then when I got to America, I phoned Tom.
"He's a great guy to be able to speak to because he is a very positive-minded person. "It is good to have people like him around you at that point.
"He talked about everything I had done in the World Cup, about the goal I scored and the goals I set up.
He said I was a great player' that I played for Real Madrid, I've got a healthy family and three boys and a wife who love me to bits.
"It does you good just to hear somebody saying that sometimes.
"He's a great example of someone who stays positive through everything.
"And that's how I started to get over what had happened with the England news. I got over it that way, with friends around me."
Becks, though, is in no doubt about the person whose support was the most vital in the aftermath of the bombshell announcement that he had been dropped from the squad after winning 94 caps - 58 as captain.
He had resigned the captaincy of his country after England's dismal exit from the World Cup in Germany this summer.
He was so distressed about that, that after making his announcement, he threw up. "Resigning the captaincy was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do," he said.
"Victoria tried to console me but I was so upset I was sick."
But he was stunned when McClaren phoned him to tell him he was axing him from the squad, too.
And he relied heavily on the emotional strength of Victoria to help him get over his despair.
"Victoria was amazing after the World Cup," David said. "The support she showed me was incredible. People sometimes seem to talk about her as a bad influence on my career but they wouldn't if they could see how much she helps me.
"Like I said, she's been my rock. Before the World Cup, she did everything to make sure I was focussed on football and nothing else.
"She knew how important it was that absolutely nothing got in the way of the build-up to the tournament.
"After the World Cup, she was the one who was there for me - with my mum and my dad and the boys.
"My boys knew I was upset but they are still watching England games and still wearing their England kits. They're cheering the team on, just like me.
AND David revealed that he feels immensely proud of Victoria. "It's not difficult to see pictures of Victoria in the newspapers every day," he said.
She's there because people like taking pictures of her because they think she's beautiful. And I think she's beautiful, of course.
"It's flattering that people want to know what she's doing next, what her hairstyle is, what sunglasses she's going to be wearing, what her jeans are like.
"What is difficult is when people criticise her.
"She's a devoted wife and mother and she deserves every success she gets.
"What happened to me with being dropped from the England squad is the kind of thing that can knock your self-esteem.
"It did affect me deeply for a couple of weeks but when I've got a wife like Victoria, a happy family and good friends, it helps you put things in perspective."
David has grown used to the claims that he was responsible for introducing a celebrity culture into the England team.
He was accused of wanting a bigger room for himself and turning England trips into photo opportunities for players' partners.
His influence on celebrity culture was supposed to be one of the reasons why Steve McClaren axed him from the squad.
"I have had the stuff about the celebrity culture for years now," said David.
"I had it at Manchester United when people were saying I was too big for the club.
"The reality with England is that the manager gets a bigger room, so does the captain, vice captain and players with the most caps.
"It goes back through the years. Alan Shearer had it. I'm sure John Terry's got it, too, even though I'm sure he didn't ask for it and neither did I. There are always going to be people out there sniping and trying to turn the fans against me but I really hope they can see through it."
