David Beckham has announced he will be voting to Remain in the EU on Thursday. 

The famous footballer and national treasure said Europe is a team and it needs to play together to succeed.

This then lead to a spat between the Leave. EU Brexit campaign, Labour Deputy Leader Tom Watson and ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.

The ex-Manchester United player praised the European players he'd shared a pitch with over his career and the experience of playing across the cities of Europe. 

His wife Victoria has announced she backs her husband's decision, despite expressing some very strong opinions against the EU in an interview with the Spectator in 1996.

Back then she said: "The whole European Federal plan is ridiculous. We are patriotic. The single currency is an outrage.

"We want the Queen's head — or the King's head if we have a king — on our own coins."

"It's been a terrible trick on the British people," said Victoria, reportedly outraged by "the impertinence of the bureaucrats in Brussels. The Euro-bureaucrats are destroying every bit of national identity and individuality."

However, today, she said: "In response to the leave.eu campaign who have today tried to put a spin on quotes made 20 years ago about keeping or losing the pound.

"I have to say strongly my comments were not about the referendum and should not be misused in this way.

"I believe in my country, I believe in a future for my children where we are stronger together and I support he remain campaign."
