<\/a>Save Our Squad\/3. (L to R) David Beckham, Bryan in Save Our Squad\/3. Cr. James Turner\/Disney+ \u00a9 2022.<\/p><\/div>\n
Co-produced by BAFTA and RTS Award-winning production company Twenty Twenty, and Studio 99, the global content and production studio co-founded by Beckham, \u201cSave Our Squad with David Beckham\u201d is a heart-warming series that sees David Beckham return to his East London roots to mentor Westward Boys, a young, grassroots team who are at the bottom of their league, facing relegation. However, this isn\u2019t just any league\u2026 this is the same league that David played in as a young boy. Working with the head coaches, he\u2019ll try to turn the team\u2019s fortunes around.<\/p>\n
David Beckham mentors the young squad, sharing stories from his own playing career which spanned over 20 years and saw him play for some of the most successful clubs in the world, to help them learn valuable lessons about practice, ambition and teamwork. Off the pitch, Beckham gets the chance to spend time with players and their families, learning about their lives, hopes and concerns and talking to them about the importance of collaboration, work ethic and community.<\/p>\n
In the exclusive trailer, we see the first time the squad meets David Beckham, with one team member quizzing him on missed penalties. For David, this role is about giving back as we see him mentor the boys, give them inspiring team talks and even get his boots back on to try to score a trademark Beckham free kick against our young team.<\/p>\n
