David Beckham Played Role in Stone Roses Reunion
Apparently he got two of the key members of the recently reformed band on board....
According to The Sun he hassled both bassist Mani and lead singer Ian Brown at various events on the topic of getting one of his favourite bands back together.
Speaking to the paper, a source close to the footballer revealed Becks is a big fan of the main men of the Madchester scene.
"You've got to remember he was a young lad in Manchester when The Roses were a big deal. It was impossible to live there without being into the band.
"Ian and Mani are Reds through and through so they all knew each other a bit back in the day.
"David heard there was a chance the ice was thawing between Ian and guitarist John Squire and he got involved."
The source goes on to explain how Becks pretty much begged the band to get back together and was one of the first to know it was going to happen.
