David Beckham to blame for father's heart attack?

Ted Beckham has revealed to the Sunday Mirror how his heavy workload was the cause of his heart attack, and being a gas fitter, was having to work weekends to make enough money to pay the bills.

The 59-year-old told the newspaper: I don't get a penny from anyone - I earn my own living. I'm a proud man and I have bills to pay like anyone else. I am working more now, and I am also turning out in the evenings to get some extra cash.

"The last thing I want to do is upset David, so I don't like to say anything. He's busy with his life and that's fine. People always think because of who my son is I should be living in a bigger house and not be working but I don't ask for anything from anyone."

He told a friend he rarely receives gifts from his multimillionaire son, but he did accept a £20,000 Jaguar three years ago.

"Everyone's got to make a living and I'm no different," he added. "I'm getting older, though, and it's harder to put in the hours."

A friend said: "Ted's on his own the whole time. He gets back from work and just pops something in the microwave to eat."

Ted, divorced from David's mother, has not received any help from his multi-millionaire son it seems, whose selfishness has payed, but was it Victoria?

Dont believe this to be true

Dont believe this to be true at all! Becks loves his dad you can see this! and who doesnt or hasnt had arguments with their father before? If Becks knew his dad was struggling he would have helped as much as possible! Ted is probably a proud man who doesnt want help, so if this is true he shouldnt be moaning about it! I dont think this is true at all, its made up rubbish! thhey love eachover and its noones fault!

oh come on. the man clearly

oh come on. the man clearly doesn't his son's money! dont blame David-or Victoria! for something like this, it's so rude.
