David Beckham, 49, details shocking back-breaking injury and reveals the secret thing he’s doing to keep in shape as he strips off in ANOTHER risqué shoot for Men’s Health UK

David Beckham has detailed the shocking back-breaking injury he suffered in 2011 as he stripped off once again in a very risqué shoot for Men’s Health UK.

The former footballer, 49, was playing and living in Los Angeles for LA Galaxy when he ‘broke his back and spine’ during a game, which ultimately led to his retirement in 2013.

Sharing rare details about his gruelling injury, David admitted: ‘I actually broke my back. I was living in LA and cracked my spine.

‘I had pain after a game, I went for a scan and couldn’t find anything wrong with it.

‘I was insisting there was something not right there – I could feel it. So, they injected me with dye, and then it came up. It was a bad one.’

As he approaches his fifties, David revealed his body is ‘feeling better than it has done for a long time’ and shared the secret thing he is doing to keep in shape.

Often seen working out with his wife Victoria in their home gym, David said he enjoys playing padel three times a week as well as working out everyday to maintain his jaw-dropping physique.

On working out with the fashion designer, David said he ‘loves’ training with her but often gives her ‘a lot of grief’ during their workout.

Asked if he is worried about turning 50-years-old in May, David said it ‘doesn’t bother him one bit’.

He said: ‘As long as I’m fit and healthy and my family are healthy, that’s all I care about. I’m really happy. I’ve got the business and an amazing family. My kids are all working hard, and they’ve all got passions, and that’s what’s important to me.’

David shares four children – Harper, 13, Brooklyn, 25, Cruz, 19, and Romeo, 22, – with Victoria, whom have been married since 1999.

Posing in a fitness-inspired shoot, David promoted BOSS underwear – after his most risqué shoot ever in January.

He proved he’s still got it as he left little to the imagination in the jaw-dropping snaps.

As the star of the new campaign, David posed up a storm in a series of sultry pictures, wearing only his underwear.
