Former Manchester United and Real Madrid star David Beckham's iconic "golden boots" are set to go up for auction on December 5 in UK, reported as.com.

The English footballer, known for his prowess on the field, was given a custom-made pair of shoes that was made specially for him to mark his 100th appearance for England in a friendly match against France.

During the match played on March 26, 2008, Beckham donned the "Golden Adidas Predators" which had names of his then-three children Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, along with St George's Crosses and his profile on the left shoe, reported The Sun.

The boots are set to be auctioned by Graham Budd Auctions in Northamptonshire, UK.

The auction bid has been fixed at £4,600 ($5,798) with David Convery, head of sports memorabilia at UK-based auction house, expecting the to likely fetch £8,000 to £10,000 ($10,084 to $12,605) at the auction.

"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," Convery told The Sun adding, "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."
