David Beckham has revealed that the 2006 World Cup WAG brigade, which included his wife Victoria, went ‘too far’ after they stole the show during the 2006 World Cup.

‘Once you’re in a training camp, you’re in training camp, you have to focus, but I think at the start of a tournament, it’s not a bad thing.’
