A young person In a rediscovered video, David Beckham is shown showing fans around his modest home, which he first shared with his wife Victoria.
In a 1997 interview, David, then 22, proudly showed off his detached home on Hazlehurst Road, Worsley, Salford, which he bought directly from the developer for $170,000.
David Beckham is seen showing admirers around his first home with Victoria in an unearthed clip from 1997.
He purchased the four-bedroom property in Worsley, Salford, for £150,000.
A far cry from their current £56,000,000 property portfolio, the Beckhams’ initial home was modest in size and even included a knee-sized hole in the hallway wall caused by a tumble David suffered.
In his early days at Manchester United at the time the tape was shot, David showed off his humble living room—complete with dark curtains, a white leather sofa, a cardboard cut-out of himself, and trophies thrown onto a ledge.
After showing off his cooker, David opened up his fridge for cameras, revealing it was loaded with the Toffee Crisp bars he had been provided among yogurts and strawberries.
Becks was just making his way into Manchester United’s first squad at the time, and he let Sky Sports broadcaster Rob McCaffery to look around his residence.

Notably, David displayed a life-size cardboard cutout of himself “that his girlfriend’s [Victoria’s] mum had wanted” sitting on his VHS tapes.
He also displayed a framed photo of himself with the 1996/97 PFA Young Player of the Year award, which his father had given him, as well as his numerous trophies on his window sill.
Moving inside the kitchen, presenter Rob discovered a pack of Walkers crisps featuring David’s future wife on the front.

The sports star, who only started dating Victoria the same year, said: “It’s sometimes embarrassing when you want a big bag of Walkers crisps and you go and get a big bag of Walkers crisps with your girlfriend on the front.”
He then showed off his fridge, which was stocked with Muller Corner yogurts, strawberries, the Toffee Crisp snacks he was sent, and a few bottles of champagne.
In addition, the former LA Galaxy hero allowed his followers to peek into his “walk-in wardrobe,” which consisted of a few upright racks tucked away in the corner of his master bedroom.
The presenter asked David to choose his favorite shirts after mocking his “massive” collection of fifteen pairs of sneakers at the moment.
The Cribs-style tour took place shortly before the couple moved into their £2.5 million Hertfordshire home, Beckingham Palace, after selling the four-bedroom house for £190,000 and pocketing a £40,000 profit.
While the footage was recorded in 1997, it wasn’t long until David and Victoria left their modest ways behind once and for all, with the loved-up pair moving into their 12-acre estate – called Beckingham Palace – in 1999.
Victoria, 48, told the Manchester Evening News in 2008 that they had “such fond memories” of their Worsley home.
She claimed at the time: “When we were last in Manchester for the Spice Girls event, David and I drove back to that property on Hazelhurst Road to take a look.
“We have so many great recollections of the Trafford Centre and other like places.
“I know David misses Manchester as well and still keeps in touch with everyone.”
The Daily Star reports that they last advertised their Manchester home for sale in 2014, asking between $445,000 and $480,000.
In more recent times, the couple has lived in their $36.8 million Holland Park home since 2013.
The six-bedroom Grade II-listed townhouse had renovations in 2016 that cost an estimated $9.5 million, according to the couple.
David and Victoria split their time between their $7.2 million Cotswold retreat and their $22 million modern Miami condo, despite the fact that their permanent residence is in London.
