The year was 1997 when the man-of-the-moment was in his Manchester United heyday while Victoria spent her days bopping about on stage under the name of Posh Spice.

During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, David revealed: “We [the football team] knew of them, obviously, because they were pretty big at the time and I was just establishing myself in the Manchester United team at the time.”

He added: “But we all had our favourite Spice Girl.”

Before you panic, the 44-year-old emphasised: “She [Victoria] was obviously my favourite, might be a bit awkward if she wasn’t.”

“She’d had a couple of drinks so I decided, why not, I’ll try and get her number,” he continued. “We talked for about an hour in the players’ lounge. She actually got the train up that day so she wrote her number down on her train ticket, which I still have.”

All together now: “Aww”.

Fast-forward to 2020 and the couple’s crowns have yet to tipple with world-famous careers and four children, Brooklyn (20), Romeo (17), Cruz (15) and Harper (8), to their name. 

If that isn’t enough to remind you that true love really does exist, Victoria recently shared a hilarious throwback video of herself interviewing David back in the late nineties on Instagram.

The tug-at-your-heartstrings clip soon amassed over 425,00 likes courtesy of their incredible ’90s fashion (please take a moment to appreciate David’s bandana) and giggly adoration for one and other.

Ah, we have the Beckham duo to thank for our fairytale-level expectations of romance.
