David Beckham FootballLondon: Former football star David Beckham says he got a new perspective on life after spending time with underprivileged children.

He says he makes sure to go back home and make his children realise how lucky they are.

He said: "Spending time with underprivileged kids gave me a new perspective. I have seen so many children that are underprivileged or going through devastation in their lives but I feel trips like these make you realise how fortunate you are. It makes me go home and tell my children how lucky they are."

David got married to singer-turned-designer Victoria in 1999. They have four children - Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, Cruz, eleven and five-year-old Harper.
