Video: Take a bow, David Beckham

MUTV are screening a brand-new documentary on Thursday night entitled Take a Bow, David Beckham.

The 60-minute special gets its title from Martin Tyler's commentary in the wake of Beckham's extraordinary long-range lob over Wimbledon's Neil Sullivan in 1996 that effectively announced his arrival as one of football's most-talked about stars.

It was the opening day of the 1996/97 season at Selhurst Park and Beckham's stupendous strike from inside his own half sealed a comfortable 3-0 victory for the champions in the south London sunshine.

Watch our clip from Thursday's show as Beckham recalls what Eric Cantona said to him in the dressing room after the goal and the late broadcaster Tony Wilson gives his verdict.
