“It doesn''t seem like all that long ago I was knocking about down there looking for mischief,” he said.u00a0“I was speaking to David Beckham, who was there with his lovely wife Victoria, and I was asking him about pain relief for a bad back,” he explained.
However, Brand said that Beckham just suggested him a massage and nothing medicinal.u00a0“I''ve got this pain in my lower back and I asked him if he had one of those injections for the pain when he was playing,” Brand said.u00a0“He said all I needed was a massage, but he wasn''t exactly offering,” he added.
