Ted Beckham, the father of soccer god David Beckham, has suffered a heart attack according to Beckham’s agent. Beckham took the first flight to England to be with his father.

“His father had a heart attack,” Beckham’s agent, Simon Oliveira said. “David was made aware of it late last night. He caught the first available flight and he’ll be arriving in London around lunchtime.”

The 59-year-old Ted Beckham was taken to a hospital near his home in east London on Wednesday night, and then transferred to another hospital.

“We can confirm that he is a patient,” Barts and The London NHS Trust spokeswoman Michelle Alexander said. “He’s in stable condition at the London Chest Hospital.”

Praying for a strong recovery for Mr. Teddy.
