Before I get into the nice stuff, can we just talk about David Beckham’s hair? I mean… what the hell? Becks is known for his constantly changing hairstyles, and I do think he looks very handsome when his hair is a bit longer and shaggy, but this parted-down-the-middle, goober-style he’s sporting is just hideous. I hope he changes it up soon. Anyway, onto the real story. Last night, David Beckham took home the BBC’s “Lifetime Achievement Award” at the Sports Personality of the Year awards in the UK. Apparently, Becks got very emotional when he gave his thank-you acceptance speech, and Posh got very emotional too. It all sounds very, very sweet.

Victoria Beckham was reduced to tears last night as her husband David was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year. The former Spice Girl struggled to contain herself as she sat with the couple’s three sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight and four-year-old Cruz and Beckham’s mother Sandra.

A clearly emotional Beckham also found it difficult not to cry as he thanked Victoria and their sons for their support over the years. He said: ‘Of course, I want to thank my wife and my children. Not only has she given me three amazing boys but the support she’s given me and she is truly and inspiration for me every single day. So Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz – thank you.’

In the audience, a teary Victoria wiped her eyes as she watched her husband accept the prize along with her sons.

While Lineker gave Beckham, 35, a couple of seconds to recover, Sir Bobby said: ‘I would just like to say congratulations to David. He is a very very pleasant person and a good man and he deserves everything that has been said of him tonight. He’s also never afraid to say his opinions on everything so I think I should pass it across to him now.’

Beckham then continued: ‘I’m obviously really humbled because to receive an award for something I love doing and have always loved doing is amazing. To receive it from Sir Bobby Charlton, I am truly honoured. Football is a team game and without the teams and the players’ support I have had over the years, I wouldn’t be here today. I wouldn’t be here without the skill and support of those players. I’ve been lucky enough to play with some of the great teams over the years. Playing for England has been one of the highlights and biggest things of my career. I’ve been able to play under some of the best coaches in my career and obviously for me the best manager in football who I regard as a father figure still after so many years of knowing him – Sir Alex Ferguson. I’m sorry that I’m going on, but I really have to thank my parents, who have sacrificed so much over the years. My sisters, my grandparents, my family, my friends, other people who work with me and for me, and lastly, if I’ve forgotten anyone I apologise. This year I went to Afghanistan and I saw the bravery of our troops out there. And what they do day in and day out, they risk their lives to save other people. I dedicate my award to the men and the women who are serving our country in Afghanistan. Be safe and have a great Christmas.’

What do you think the state of the Beckhams’ marriage is? Despite all of the reports of David’s infidelity over the years, I do think he and Victoria really love the hell out of each other, and that their marriage is relatively strong. Obviously, Posh isn’t going to let a few random hookers, assistants, club girls and whoever else ruin her family. Are these the new “family values”? I don’t know. But whatever they’re doing, it seems good, I guess.
