David:
Hi, I'm David Beckham and I'm really proud to be an Active Kids ambassador. Having an active childhood is really important if you want to grow up healthy and happy. I know you've got some questions for me so fire away.

Kai:
Hello David. When did you first know that you wanted to be a footballer and why?
David:
Hi Kai. Well I first knew I wanted to be a footballer about your age probably and I worked really hard, I practiced and when I was at school I turned round to my teacher and said that I wanted to be a professional footballer and they replied with: 'No, what do you want to do as your real job?'

Isabel & Shelby:
Hi David. Me and my sister love playing pirates. What imaginary games did you play when you were younger?
David:
Hi Isabel. Hi Shelby. Well your pirate ship looks amazing, it looks better than anything that I ever built when I was your age, but I actually wanted to be a soldier so I used to march around the house and roll around in mud. So, that was what I used to do.

Louis:
Hi David. I love to juggle. How good are you?
David:
Hi Louis. Juggling has never been my expertise but, guess what? I'm gonna give it a go. Almost.

Ellie:
Hello David. What games do your kids play with their grandparents and what did you play with yours?
David:
Hi Ellie. My sons love Lego so they would sit for hours and hours. My granddad died a few years ago but before then we used to go over the park and we used to play football. I used to love being outside, he loved football so we just used to go over the park and just play together.

Christiana:
Hi David. What was your favourite toy when you were a kid?
David:
Hi Christiana. Uhm... It's a long time ago, but my favourite toy as a kid was Thomas the Tank Engine. One of my sons absolutely loves Thomas the Tank Engine as well, so it's carried over, but that was my favourite toy.

Chris:
Hi David. My son absolutely loves football. Were there any sports or games equipment that you really liked?
David:
Hi Chris. Well obviously my favourite bit of equipment was the football. From waking up in the morning to school, I used to carry the football. I actually think I slept with the football a few times.
