LIAR LOSES IT

From the Sun:

Angry David Beckham yesterday blew a gasket over coverage of his “affairs” with Rebecca Loos and Sarah Marbeck.

Speaking at the England squad’s training camp in Sardinia, Beckham said: “I’ve been called a bad father, I’ve been called a bad husband and my wife has been called a bad mother.

“Things always hurt that are said about my family, and for people to call my wife a bad mother is unbelievable.

“I’m a strong person, I’m a strong family man, I’m a strong husband and a strong father.”

The England captain at first asked for some papers and TV stations to be BANNED from a press conference he was giving ahead of next month’s Euro 2004.

But Beckham finally relented.

He then later told reporters: “The way I and my family have been treated is an absolute disgrace because at the end of the day I’m a nice person and loving husband and father.”

Becks, 29, was linked to personal assistant Rebecca, 26, last month. Then call girl Sarah 29, said they also had a fling.

But PR guru Max Clifford last night criticised Becks for his amazing attack.
He said: “The advice I would have given to David is don’t attack the messenger if you don’t like the message.

“You cannot use the media, and then be petulant and childish when they say something you are not happy with. No one has total control of the media.

“Even if you are David Beckham it doesn’t mean you have got the right to determine everything that goes in.

“It is a bad move for David Beckham to act like this, particularly as England captain.”

The star’s outburst comes days after confirming he WILL be staying at Real Madrid.

Becks was adamant he was pleased with his first year in Madrid.

Asked if he is at his best when happy in his life, he replied: “I have enjoyed this season, whatever has gone on and whatever rumours there were about me moving back to England.

"Those rumours were never started by me. I was always happy at Real and wanted to stay.

“From the first game onwards I had to prove to people in Spain I could play football as well as sell shirts. I feel I’ve done that.”

And he added: “The things that have always been said about me have never affected my football. That’s the way it will always be.”
