David Beckham has revealed that he is so close to one of his former team-mate's that he'd trust them with his wife Victoria - even is she was naked.

The football star named Manchester United player Gary Neville as one of three people he considers to be his most trusted friends.

"They are the three that I would trust with my wife naked. That's how good they are as friends" - David Beckham

"They are the three that I would trust with my wife naked," he said. "That's how good they are as friends."

The former Real Madrid player had reportedly been expected to be Neville's best man when he married Emma Hadfield last year, but was unable to attend the ceremony as he was preparing for a crucial football match.

Beckham did not name the other two pals that form his trio of closest friends.

But the LA Galaxy star is well-known for his public friendships with a host of Hollywood A-Listers since moving to the US, including Tom Cruise and his wife Katie Holmes and Will Smith and his other-half Jada Pinkett Smith.
