These throwback photos of the Beckhams will take you right back to the '90s
David and Victoria Beckham have graced the covers of major magazines like Vogue and been splattered across tabloids for as long as they've been a couple.
“Posh and Becks,” as their British fanbase calls them, met at a charity soccer match in 1997 and have been photographed hand-in-hand ever since.
Netflix's docuseries “Beckham” tracks David Beckham's career and ensuing stardom. Just as integral to the documentary, however, is his relationship Victoria Beckham — and its accompanying media coverage. Since their '90s meet-cute and even more '90s wedding, the couple has gone on to have four kids and launch fashion and sports empires. The documentary features candid couple moments, too.
They've reached career pinnacles — but sometimes, it's fun to look back and say, "Remember when?" Below, get a glimpse of vintage David and Victoria Beckham via throwback photos.
