avid Beckham has recalled
one of his early fashion
moments in the 75th
anniversary edition of
Desert Island Discs.
The former England footballer,
41, was picked as the castaway
for the landmark edition of the
Radio 4 series, hosted by Kirsty
Young.
In a clip released ahead of the
broadcast, Beckham - whose
fashion choices have included
nail varnish, a sarong and a
braided hairstyle - discusses his
love of clothes.
Talking about being a page boy
at a wedding, at the age of six,
he says: "I had two options, just
a normal suit or the option of
burgundy, velvet knickerbockers
with white tights and white
ballet shoes, and I chose that,
believe it or not.
"I felt great. My dad looked at
me as if to say, 'really, is that
what you picked?"'
Asked if he ever wore thue
ensemble again, Beckham, who
is married to Spice Girl turned
fashion designer Victoria, says:
"I think I did," to which Young
jokes: "Not to football training, I
hope!"
Beckham adds: "I'm sure my
mum has got that outfit at
home."
The anniversary episode of
Desert Island Discs will
reintroduce sounds of the sea
during the opening and closing
of the programme, for the first
time since the 1960s.
Young has previously described
Beckham as a "fascinating guest
to welcome on to my little
interview island".
The show is on BBC Radio 4 at
11.15am on Sunday
