England footballer David Beckham had a private meeting with Gordon Brown for nearly an hour at the British Prime Minister's 10 Downing Street residence Tuesday.
A Downing Street spokesman said the meeting between Brown, a fan of Scottish football club Raith Rovers, and former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder Beckham was a "genuinely private matter."
Beckham told the BBC: "He's (Mr Brown) interested in sports and his football, you know he is very interested in doing a lot for my academy and also getting involved in schools around the country as well.
"He's a very good man, you know he's a man that's looking after our country and he is doing a very good job. I'm very proud to be here tonight."
Beckham, now with US-based Major League Soccer (MLS) club LA Galaxy, has been training recently with English Premier League leaders Arsenal during the off-season as part of a bid to win his 100th England cap next month.
The 6 February friendly international against Switzerland at Wembley will be Italian Fabio Capello's first match as England manager. Beckham played under Capello at Real Madrid.
