“I remember sitting down and the lady sitting next to me turning to me, she said ‘do you want a polo?’ She didn’t know what to say!
“Do I want a polo? What do you say when you’re sat next to someone and 75,000 people say you take it up the a**e!
“We did not know what to do, it felt like we were drowning.”
David, now 48, went on to admit that the abuse gave him more motivation.
He continued: “As hard as it was looking up to the stands and seeing Victoria, it was the one thing that spurred me on.
“When fans felt like they could get to me by singing hurtful things about my family, I would score a goal.”
Beckham also revealed that he was spat on in the period after his red card against Argentina.
He said: “What I went through was so extreme. The whole country hated me. Hated me.
“It changed my life. I felt very vulnerable and alone. Wherever I went I got abuse every single day.
“People look at you in a certain way, spit at you, abuse you, come up to your face and say some of the things that they said. That was difficult.”
