The retired footballer was slated by gay magazine Attitude Magazine for agreeing the deal after he backed Blackpool FC midfielder Jake Daniels (17) for recently coming out, elpasoinc.com reports.
It made him the UK’s first male professional footballer to reveal he was gay since the late Justin Fashanu, 37 in 1990.
An Instagram post from the Attitude account raged David Beckham (47) was «keeping his money just about as far as possible from where his mouth is», according to elpasoinc.com.
