Sir Bobby insisted that Posh's lifestyle hurt Becks' game, at the launch of his autobiography.
"I think Victoria's lifestyle affected his game," the Mirror quoted him, as saying.
"I think Victoria's lifestyle affected his game," the Mirror quoted him, as saying.
"He was a really great footballer and had a terrific talent but everyone is different and his lifestyle has gone in a different direction.
"He wanted to be a footballer more than anyone I have ever seen. I wonder if he thinks 'what has happened'."
The former Manchester United played also dismissed claims Beckham was forced out of Man United by boss Sir Alex Ferguson, saying he saw the contract offered to the footballer to stay at the English side, and not leave for Real Madrid.
"Beckham thought that a celebrity lifestyle, being drawn increasingly into the showbiz world of his wife Victoria, was compatible with the regime of a professional footballer. His manager did not," Sir Bobby said.
"I would rather he was still playing in England but he is in America now."
And while Becks battles to get back in shape after yet another injury, Sir Bobby believes he will get the three caps he needs to make a century of appearances for England.
