  • We're back with David Beckham.

  • And so you're now--

  • so you're retired from soccer.

  • But you decided you love soccer so much

  • that you want to own a team.

  • So now you own your own soccer team.

  • I do.

  • Was that a dream?

  • It's a real dream.

  • You know, obviously when I was playing the game,

  • I never even dreamt for a minute that I'd

  • become an owner of a team.

  • I always wanted to have a legacy in the game.

  • It's important to me, and also to my family,

  • for my kids to walk into that stadium

  • that we've built in 20 years time and say, Daddy built this.

  • That's something that I wanted to really have.

  • And it was just about giving back.

  • And yesterday when I was in the stadium for our first game,

  • it just really felt that this was the moment

  • that I'd always wanted.

  • I had young kids coming up to me-- boys, girls saying,

  • the reason why we play this game is because you came to America.

  • And that's what I always wanted from coming to America.

  • Obviously I wanted to win championships.

  • But more importantly I wanted to provide something

  • that most places that I've played in has--

  • a real kind of legacy and a real opportunity for children

  • to play this great game.

  • Yeah.

  • Well, good for you.

  • I'm so happy.

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • Thank you.

  • I mean, it's one thing to play a sport

  • that you love and are passionate about

  • and that you're brilliant at.

  • And then when you retire, there's

  • all these business opportunities.

  • But to actually stay within something

  • that you love and achieve that and grow it like that.

  • I have a question.

  • I'm going to look at your feet right now,

  • and I'm going to ask you a question.

  • I know what you're going to say.

  • Well, I just learned about this this morning,

  • that you have a theory that your feet have

  • grown a full entire shoe size.

  • Well, it's better my feet than my nose or my ears probably.

  • But yeah, my feet are still growing.

  • They really are.

  • Since when?

  • Well, when I used to play, which was--

  • I stopped playing seven years ago.

  • I used to have size 9 and 3/4.

  • That was the size of my boots that I

  • used to wear in the games.

  • Now, I'm a US 11.

  • I just can't understand it.

  • Are you retaining water?

  • Possibly.

  • Maybe that's what it is.

  • Maybe that's the reason.

  • All right, well, I got you a gift

  • because I heard about this, and you're a stylish guy.

  • And so I got you something that when your feet grow--

  • look.

  • That's not a natural thing, surely.

  • Yeah.

  • No, that's natural.

  • That's a good gift.

  • Thank you for that.

  • No matter what happens, you can wear these cool shoes.

  • Yeah, thanks.

  • All right.

  • More with David after this.

We're back with David Beckham.
