David Beckham Was Hazed as a Teen

David Beckham has shared details about a hazing ritual he was forced to undergo while a rookie with Manchester United’s youth squad in 1992. While discussing the new documentary Class of ’92 with Metro, the soccer star said, “Everyone had an initiation that you had to go through on the youth team, that was one of the most uncomfortable ones!...The fact that I had to look at Clayton Blackmore’s calendar and do certain things, while looking at Clayton Blackmore…” The 38-year-old said it was “something that we all had to go through” but that it was “definitely something I wouldn’t like to go through again!”
