It’s not been given the Netflix or Disney treatment yet, but for authenticity and football royalty, a new series of short films called This is Salford takes some beating.
The star and central character is Sir David Beckham, who, with Gary Neville, we see on an emotional return to the old Manchester United Littleton Road training ground for the first time since he left the club and hear him affectionately describing some of the more unknown aspects of his marital life. His wife’s exasperation, for example, with him constantly having football on TV without even watching it.
