貝克漢姆回憶 曼聯年輕球員犯錯會被罰跳滑稽舞

David Beckham says young players at Manchester United were forced to perform "a funny dance" in front of senior professionals as a punishment for stepping out of line.

大衛·貝克漢姆於日前表示，曼聯的年輕球員曾被強迫在資歷較老的球員面前表演“有趣的舞蹈”，以此作爲對他們錯誤的懲罰。

The former England captain was asked about the current child sex abuse scandal in football during his appearance on BBC Radio Four's "Desert Island Discs."

在做客BBC四臺的《荒島唱片》時，這位前英格蘭國家隊隊長被問到了當下在足球界裏發生的兒童性虐待醜聞。

"There was never anything at Manchester United and it is disgraceful what has gone on and there has to be something done about it," he said.

他表示：“曼聯隊裏從未發生過這樣的事情，但這件事情太可恥了，必須要對此做些什麼。”

"The closest part would have been certain professionals, that if we had gone out of line they would have made us do a funny dance in the middle of the changing room in front of the professionals, in front of our heroes at the time."

“但是與此最爲類似的是，如果我們年輕球員犯了錯誤，幾個資歷較老的球員就會讓我們當着他們的面，當着那時我們心目中的英雄的面，在更衣室中間跳一段滑稽的舞蹈。”

Beckham said it was humiliating, adding: "That was all it was, but that was just to teach us a lesson -- there was never any wrongdoing."

貝克漢姆說這是十分羞辱的，他還表示：“當時就是這樣，那只是爲了給我們一個教訓--沒有任何不妥。”

The 41-year-old signed for the Premier League club aged 16 and was part of the Class of '92 which included Ryan Giggs, Gary and Phil Neville, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes.

現年41歲的貝克漢姆於16歲時登陸英超，是曼聯的92黃金一代中的一員，此外還包括萊恩·吉格斯、加里·內維爾、菲爾·內維爾、尼基·巴特以及保羅·斯科爾斯。

Beckham said his mother and father had made many sacrifices over the years in order to achieve his dream of being a footballer. However getting praise from his father was rare.

貝克漢姆表示，一直以來他的父母爲了他的足球夢做出了太大的犧牲。然而他卻並沒有從父親的嘴裏得到過讚美之詞。

He said: "I knew that my dad would always be proud of my achievements. The only time my dad turned 'round to me and said 'you know what son, you have done really well' was when I got my 100th cap for England.

他說：“我知道父親會爲我的成就而感到驕傲。唯一一次他轉過身來對我說'你知道嗎兒子，你做的很棒'，是我爲英格蘭取得了第100座獎盃的時候。”
