Sir Michael Palin, Gary Lineker and Jamie Cullum have also paid tribute to Sir Michael Parkinson.
Sir David Attenborough has said that Sir Michael Parkinson’s northern accent was “a very refreshing voice in those days” as the late chat show host was hailed as “king of the intelligent interview”.
“He was extremely generous, he wanted you to shine and would always laugh at your jokes and give you an opportunity to make them sound funnier than in fact they were.” “He was a very good journalist, and a very proud journalist, and it was very important for him not to give people an easy ride. But he did basically choose people he liked, because he liked to be entertained himself.”
On Instagram, Beckham wrote: “I was so lucky to not just be interviewed by Michael but to be able to spend precious time talking about football and family our 2 passions plus the GoldenBalls moment.” “You knew when he was asking a question, that he genuinely wanted to know the answer, on camera or off.
