Football icon David Beckham will mentor young grassroots footballers in a new factual series for Disney+.

The sports star, who captained England and played for clubs including Manchester United and Real Madrid, will return to the east London pitches where he played as a child.

His mission is to help a struggling side survive in their amateur league.

Disney says the team and their community will go on "an uplifting, transformative journey of a lifetime".
