    Gary Neville couldn't resist dropping a crude joke about David Beckham into his best man speech at the Manchester United legend's wedding. <\/p>\n

    The snippet of Neville's speech was shown on the new Netflix documentary which explored the high profile life of Beckham, who remains one of Britain's biggest superstars.<\/p>\n

    Golden Balls married Victoria in July 1999, shortly after Man United became the first team in English football history to win the Treble. Thousands of adoring fans lined the streets to see them both arrive at Luttrellstown Castle on the outskirts of Dublin, Ireland.<\/p>\n

    But only special guests got to see the grandeur of events inside the walls – until now. Becks has shared clips of the wedding for the new documentary – and that includes one joke that Neville made during his best man speech.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    With the wedding coming after United came from 1-0 down in stoppage time to win 2-1 in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich, Neville used the opportunity to make a cheeky joke involving Becks, their beaten opponents and Victoria's pop band, the Spice Girls.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe have got some distinguished guests present ladies and gentlemen," Neville began. "David said the Spice Girls requested that the Bayern Munich team be present today and David said he was puzzled at this request and asked why. The Spice Girls replied they wanted to meet any man who can be on top for 90 minutes and still come second.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Camera access to the Beckham's wedding was sold to OK! Magazine for \u00a31million – more than covering the \u00a3750,000 cost of the event. <\/p>\n

    And it was always going to be an eye-catching affair, with Posh and Becks both choosing to wear purple suits, while their guests stayed in black and white. <\/p>\n

    David tells the Netflix documentary" \u201cI am trying to think back to when I agreed to wear a purple suit and I am not sure I can remember when that happened. I think I just took Victoria\u2019s lead on it\u2026 but what were we thinking?\u201d<\/p>\n

    Victoria added: \u201cBut it was fun. We weren\u2019t worried about what people were going to say. How lovely to be that way when you don\u2019t care. We just wanted to express ourselves and that is who we were.\u201d<\/p>\n
