Beckham himself is no stranger to global fame, having become one of the most recognisable footballers in the world during his illustrious career.
“He said ‘wow, well done’ and I said ’thank you’,” Littler told the BBC.

‘The Nuke’ is an avid Manchester United fan, and admitted all the congratulatory messages hadn’t yet sunk in. “It just shows how well I’ve done for sport,” he said. “Not only for myself but for the other hundreds of professionals out there.
But just to see the likes of David Beckham are watching it, that just feels crazy.”
