    Beckham was speaking at the premiere of O’Sullivan’s new film on Tuesday night.

    “Firstly, it’s a huge privilege to have been part of this,” Beckham, who is an executive producer on the film, said at the premiere.
    “I was always a fan of Ronnie. I grew up in the East End of London and when I wasn’t playing football, I was playing snooker.

    “I used to go up to the snooker hall in Chingford every other day when I wasn’t playing football.
    “Then when my dad was playing football on the weekends, I’d end up playing snooker in the bar. That was something I grew up on.
    “I was able to spend a little time with Ronnie over the years. One of my favourite nights as a Manchester United player, we’d played in London and I think we went out for a couple of beers and I ended up back at Ronnie’s house.
    “His mum was making a cup of tea for us and we had a few frames. That was one of my favourite nights as a Manchester United player because I got to spend a few hours with Ronnie and get to know him.

    “To be able to make this film is very special because it’s not just about him as a snooker player. It’s about him and his life.
    “He is a special person but to watch him play is just beautiful.
    “With Ronnie, and the same with me, my dad was hard on me as a kid. But that’s what made me have the career that I had.
    “I always want to make things with people that I admire and I’ve always admired Ronnie.”
    Beckham and O’Sullivan appeared on the red carpet together at the Odeon in Leicester Square, London.

    But he picked McGregor as he believes the UFC fighter is box office entertainment.
    In an interview with fellow seven-time world snooker champion Stephen Hendry on his YouTube channel, O’Sullivan said: “I know he’s not the best ever but Conor McGregor.
    “I’m fascinated by him, he’s come from nothing, there’s no filter, he says it out there.
    “I’m really into how he’s gone about his stuff – he doesn’t care.

    “He’s brilliant, when you watch him on TV…you have to watch him.”
    Like McGregor, O’Sullivan used to be a bit of a maverick and even as a kid he used to make thousands of pounds with his skills down at the snooker halls.
    The Rocket also struggled with drink and drugs when he was younger and admits he lost seven years of his career because of it.
    That period was sparked by his dad being sent to prison for 18 years – when O’Sullivan was just 16-years-old.

    Reflecting on that period, he said: “That’s when the mad seven years began. The benders, the blackouts.
    “There wasn’t the self-awareness when I was in the thick of it all.
    “I was in the moment. I was trying to fit in a lot of the time, doing the things I thought I should be doing, as a bloke of my age with a bit of cash.
    “Clubs, girls, the sort of thing you do in clubs to impress girls. That’s what I thought you were supposed to do. I wanted to be liked.
    “That’s when trouble starts. I tried to fit in and my personality began to change. Drink and drugs accelerated it.
    “I became an unpleasant person. A bit of attitude with strangers, like I fancied myself, and that was never me.” More

    Then, in 2017, the ex-midfielder was revealed to unknowingly distracted Neil Robertson in his match with Marco Fu.
    “I’m thinking ‘oh my god, I can’t miss in the balls here or he’s gonna think I’m terrible! It was actually quite off-putting,” the Aussie told Stephen Hendry in an interview on the Scot’s YouTube channel.

    Play suspended at World Snooker Championships as yob climbs on table at Crucible and covers it with orange powder

    A YOB defaced a snooker table at the Crucible with orange powder in one of the sport’s biggest EVER security breaches.The environmental crackpot jumped out of the stands and then climbed on to table one during the first-round match between Robert Milkins and Joe Perry on day three of the World Snooker Championship.

    In an idiotic stunt, the individual then chucked some powder that covered the green surface and forced the session to be instantly halted.
    In a coordinated attack, a woman tried to climb on to table two — Mark Allen was playing Fan Zhengyi — but she was stopped by Belgian referee Oliver Marteel.
    The action was suspended and both protesters were detained by security backstage.
    Police later confirmed they have both been taken into custody.

    World Snooker Tour officials decided to abandon play on the damaged table one for the evening and completely recover it overnight.
    No13 seed Milkins and qualifier Perry will now play their first session on Tuesday evening but it is understood the first frame will start again from scratch.
    Stephen Hendry, the seven-time world champion, said on the incident: “I have never seen that before at a snooker event. It’s a first. 
    “It is scary. Wow! You just hope the cloth can be recovered from that. It caught us all by surprise and then this happens.

    “For me, straightaway as a snooker player I am thinking: ‘Is the table recoverable?’ We don’t know what that is on the table. There is a lot of things that need working out. It is unknown territory.”
    MC Rob Walker donned a mask and marigolds gloves and joined in the hoovering operation with fellow colleagues.
    The dramatic incident happened at approximately 7.20pm but play on table two resumed after a 40-minute stoppage.
    World Snooker Tour officials decided to abandon play on the damaged table one for the evening and completely re-cloth it overnight.
    And fans took to social media in disbelief at what they had just seen.
    One tweeted: “What the heck just happened 😲.”
    A second commented: “Absolute morons.”
    A third wrote: “Oh my god I’ve never seen anything like this before. A protestor jumps on the table and spreads some kind of orange powder on the table. SCENES!”
    A fourth joked: “Wasting the best bit of a bag of Cheetos there.”
    While a fifth added: “Who said snooker was boring.”
    It is not the first time snooker matches at this iconic Sheffield theatre have been disrupted in such an abrupt manner.
    A male streaker ran around the table before the final session of the 2008 final between Ronnie O’Sullivan and Ali Carter.
    And last year a pigeon stopped play when it flew down from the roof and jumped on a hallow table.
    The protest follows on from demonstrations at the Grand National on Sunday.

    The iconic spectacle – eventually won by favourite Corach Rambler – was pushed back by 15 minutes as police and locals teamed up to drag the yobs away from the racecourse, with 118 arrests made.
    But that caused major disruption to the horses who were taken back in from the parade ring and then brought out again. More

    Hendry established himself as one of the greatest snooker players of all time by beating Steve Davis’ record of six snooker World Championship wins.
    But he thinks O’Sullivan, 47, will be determined to go one better than him and claim an eighth title.
    He said after The Rocket won his seventh: “He’s taken snooker to new heights.
    “I’m actually surprised it’s taken him so long to get to seven – that’s how good he is! When I got six to equal Steve [Davis], I had to get seven.
    “I presume it’ll be the same for Ronnie, he’ll have to get eight. I’m sure he won’t be happy until he’s done that. That will be the aim – as simple as that.” More

    The annual awards do has been held on a Sunday evening in December since 1982 — with 2011 the only exception to that weekend ritual.
    But TV bosses have been left with a major headache with the timing of a first football World Cup to be held in the winter.
    Hosting the show on the same evening as this year’s World Cup final in Lusail would be a logistical nightmare, especially if England make it all the way for the first time since 1966.
    The danger of broadcasting it any earlier in December would mean missing out if there is any potential Three Lions success.
