“This is going to make me sound really weird but when I was in Milan with a lot of time on my hands I found online that there is a Taj Mahal LEGO set you can buy. So I bought it,” the father-of-three revealed in a live chat with Yahoo.

The LEGO Taj Mahal set kept the 35-year-old footballer occupied whilst he was recovering off the pitch and David admitted to thinking about becoming a professional LEGO brick builder! “I know it’s not a career but I love doing it and would like to be a professional LEGO builder,” he said.

Dad-of-three Becks also outed wife Victoria and his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, as massive fans of the colourful toy bricks, too. “They’re obsessed with it.”
