England were beaten 1-0 and Beckham even received a yellow card in the 39th minute.

The likes of Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, John Terry and Wayne Rooney all starred for the Three Lions on the night.

Meanwhile, Franck Ribery, Nicolas Anelka, William Gallas and Claude Makelele featured for France.

The boots were produced especially for Beckham and feature embroidered St George’s Crosses, along with the Manchester United icon’s profile on the left shoe.

The names of Beckham’s then-three children Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, are also embroidered on the design.

The pair are expected to be sold on December 5 as part of a wider sporting goods auction by Northamptonshire-based auctioneers Graham Budd Auctions.

With a starting bid of £4,600, David Convery, head of sporting memorabilia, estimates that the boots could go for as much as £8,000-10,000.

He said: “David Beckham is not only an iconic player, but you could also argue that he started the ‘style revolution’ with this type of golden boot.

“These boots are already attracting attention on a global stage and we wouldn’t be surprised if they reached or even went beyond their estimated price.”

The boots, or lot 924, will be sold as the first item up for grabs on December 5 at the auctioneers’ site in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, at 13:30.
