On tour with Manchester City: It's not pants to see Beckham in the locker room

One of the highlights of a week in California has definitely been the chance to see David Beckham in his pants.

It has never been an ambition of mine to see Beckham in his undies but last week I was grateful. It’s all about media access, you see.

In England we used to loiter in car parks and hang about at training grounds in order to interview footballers. These days we need to make appointments through press officers and agents and often are required to plug a sponsor or a community event in order to hear a player talk about how much he likes scoring goals.

In America things are different, though. At the end of the game you wander downstairs and walk straight in to the ‘locker room’.
