David Beckham has revealed he had to be held back from Sir Alex Ferguson during their infamous row in 2003 after the legendary Scot kicked a boot at the ex-England captain.

Tensions grew between the pair after Man United's FA Cup fifth-round tie against Arsenal in the 2002-03 campaign - which they lost 2-0 - with Ferguson leading a dressing room inquest.

Beckham remembers seeing his 'fuming' boss and revealed he had swore at him to further enrage him on top of the result.

Ferguson then launched a boot at Beckham, with the midfielder later seen sporting an eye injury in training.
