Beckham said his six-year-old daughter Harper is the lone Beckham kin still playing soccer.

“She is the only one left and she started playing every Sunday and she loves it,” Beckham told Norton. “The boys don’t play anymore and it’s heartbreaking.”

“They have a talent, but obviously none of them play anymore so it’s down to Harper.”
