David Beckham's dad is stable
David Beckham has arrived in London. He was the first passenger off of the British Airways flight. He was met by two airline officials who had a car waiting on the tarmac to take him straight to the hospital to be with his dad. His spokesman said he had spoken to him when he landed but that he did not know whether Becks would be making any kind of statement at the hospital. He said "His priority is to see his dad and that is his first concern." More details are online here.
(Source) Simon Oliveira, Becks publicist, told the Associated Press "His father had a heart attack. David was made aware of it late last night. He caught the first available flight. He also said Ted Beckham had surgery and is in intensive care and a spokeswoman for the Barts and The London NHS Trust said "He's in a stable condition at the London Chest Hospital."
I hope the media will respect his need for some privacy and let's all keep Ted Beckham and the whole family in our thoughts and prayers.
Update - The Sun are reporting that Ted Beckham regained consciousness earlier today and was able to talk with his family. They quote a medical source as saying, "After suffering such a massive heart attack it will take some time to regain his strength. Ted is very shaken but he is fit and there is no reason why he can’t bounce back from this." I haven't seen a statement from a spokesman for Becks as yet though. Let's hope he's recovering well.
The LA Galaxy won their match against the KC Wizards 1-0 so that's a little positive news. The players dedicated the win to Becks and Coach Yallop said "The lads’ thoughts are with David and his father."

I don't think Ted should have written a book about Becks without telling him or getting his okay I think Becks is a good son to forgive and forget and I hope things will turn out well

I know Tanique on the plus side I don't think they can get into the hospital, they have to wait at the gate at least it gives him a little space. What I can't stand is the sheer amount the tabloids make up at a time like this but as you say it's not a surprise.

Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family...
It has been one crazy year for the Beckham family they must be due some good luck...

i know we should all be used to it, but it's hard to get how papers are going out of there way to be ugly, at this time. i've decided i just wont' read anymore.
i'll wait for official updates. there is no common decency, and it's disheartening. i am glad they can't get in the hospital. i hope ted is getting his rest in peace, and that the family can go back and forth with the least amount of hassle.
apparently the commentators at the Galaxy game sent their prayers out to David and his family. so, that was nice to hear.

The tabloids are just sickening. They always use sources, close friends, family members, but no actual names to make their lies seem believable and then people are taken in by whatever they make up Grrrrr!
Hope Ted is doing well I hope they have that right!

This news makes me really sad. I know the feeling, trust me. I hope Ted Beckham will fully recover. My prayers are with him and all the Beckhams.
Hang in there, Becks!

Bless the Beckhams and may the lord be with them and help them and guide them through this time

Just adding my thoughts and wishes to everyone else's -- hopes for a full recovery for Mr Beckham and for a bit of peace and privacy for the whole family. (Yes, the tabs should be well beyond ashamed this time).
8:19 PM
get well soon Dad Becks!

Thanks for the updates Anna. I'm glad he's doing better

all the best to the whole family. get well soon Mr Beckham

It's nice the commentators did that and good that the Galaxy won The lad could really use some good luck he's had a rough year but things'll pick up they always do! In my experience...limited as it is... if you're still hanging in there this long after a heart attack it's a very very good sign so hopefully Ted is going to be right as rain.

I am very glad that David made it back in time to see his Dad and hope he recovers very soon. I am also glad to see that Victoria is by his side now it will be a big comfort to him

My heart and prayers goes out to the Beckham family.
God will make him well
God Bless you all
