Plans for a new David Beckham Netflix documentary have just been announced, with the England legend and Inter Miami co-owner breaking the news on Instagram.
We don't yet have a release date for the new, currently untitled series, but it will cover Beckham's life on and off the pitch - featuring interviews with key figures from his footballing journey and never-before-seen footage.
And given all that the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star achieved throughout his career – from winning domestic and European honours aplenty, to producing some of the national team's most iconic moments – there should be no shortage of content for the programme.
While we haven't seen anything of the documentary yet, Netflix's previous sports documentaries include the acclaimed The Last Dance and Sunderland 'Til I Die, giving us hope that this could rank among the best football documentaries when it is released.
