Beckham sent off at kids' match

Football icon David Beckham was shown the red card and ordered out of a park after protesting a decision to send off one of the youngsters in a match between kids.

The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder, 36, who was waiting for a match his nine-year-old son Romeo was due to play in, had to go and stand outside the park gate until the game was over.

"I was watching the kids play the other day, it was the game just before they were playing," he said.

"It was the younger kids of Romeo's club, and they're playing in the game and there was a penalty given.

"He sent the kid off. And I was like, 'Come on, he's seven years old, referee, you can't send him off'.

"And he looked at me and was like, 'Yes, I can'. And I was like, 'OK, well, you can't, he's seven years old'.

"And he came over and gave me a red card. He told me to get out of the park. For real.

"The gate was only 20 yards away and I waited and went back in when my son's game was on."
