Netflix viewers spot flaw with David and Victoria Beckham's first meeting claims
Eagle-eyed Beckham Netflix documentary viewers have noticed a shocking blunder just minutes into the first episode.
The four-parter brings to life not only the superstar's football career but his relationship with Victoria, who he would go on to marry as the pair became one of the most famous couples in the world. It covers their early days as we watched the young love birds fall head over heels for each other.
It was in those scenes where the howler was made as the Spice Girl came to see her soon-to-be new man play. Smitten Posh was seen on the pitch before the game as she scored an important goal at Old Trafford, the iconic home of Manchester United. Problem was, when the ball hit the back of the net it was clearly at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge - some 200 miles away.

We then hear Victoria joke: "The fact I went to the games... some would say stalk him, I would say support him. I just fancied him."
To make the gaffe worse, that match at Chelsea was some weeks later. Needless to say it didn't go unnoticed with football fans piling in on twitter asking how it wasn't spotted that the footage wasn't from United's easy-to-recognise stadium.

One wrote: "The Beckham mini-series has a bit talking about Victoria watching David at Old Trafford before showing a goal he quite clearly scores at Stamford Bridge and I for one am livid. Heads must roll for this catastrophic continuity error!" Another said: "Old Trafford, that's Chelsea is Becks a time traveller?"
A third put: "Victoria says she watches David play at Old Trafford, he clearly scores a goal at Stamford Bridge. I mean, what are we to believe, that golden balls has a magic teleportation device. Ha ha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder."
The streaming on Netflix and follows the star's life from his breakthrough at Manchester United to superstardom at Real Madrid and the end of his career at LA Galaxy. A series of candid interviews are the basis for the show, mixed in with footage from the time.
The iconic couple, who celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary this year, met at the football match in 1997 and wed two years later. But a year later came one of their most difficult times - when David was red carded during the World Cup. And the country turned.
She still hasn't forgiven those who tortured him back in 1998 following his infamous sending off against Argentina that contributed to England exit in France. David became one of the most hated men in Britain after being given his marching orders in Saint-Etienne.
He received death threats, with an image of a Beckham effigy hanging in East London not far from his childhood home a lasting symbol as he was subsequently booed at every away ground for over a year. In a new Netflix documentary, Victoria discussed the aftermath and revealed she dropped the news of her pregnancy to David the night before his infamous red card moment.
Recalling the reaction back home, the former Spice Girl said Becks, just 23 at the time, didn't deserve what he was put through some 25 years ago. “I mean, the absolute hate, the public bullying, to another level," she said. "He was depressed, absolutely clinically depressed. I still want to kill these people.”
David said of the reaction to his red: “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.”
