Editing David Beckham (section)

===Leaked emails===

In 2015, a Portuguese company associated with Beckham's spokesman had their server hacked which contained personal emails from Beckham. Germany's ''Der Spiegel'' and France's ''L'Equipe'' published details of the hack, reporting how Beckham was angry at not being granted a knighthood in 2013, and that the [[Honours Committee]] was concerned about his tax affairs due to input from UK government department [[HM_Revenue_and_Customs|HMRC]]. Beckham's team stated some of the published emails were doctored, but they confirmed others as genuine.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/feb/06/hacked-david-beckham-emails-renders-injunction-worthless | title=Publication of hacked David Beckham emails renders injunction worthless | newspaper=The Guardian | date=6 February 2017 | last1=Booth | first1=Robert | last2=Grierson | first2=Jamie }}</ref>
