"David Beckham is upset with a charity auction that offered a meeting with him as a prize without his agreement. Mum Jeanne Kelly paid \u00C2\u00A33,500 for her son Conor to have a date with the England footballer, but the prize was cancelled by organisers at the last minute. The auctioned prize also included VIP flights and a signed jersey. Speaking to the New York Post, Kelly said: &amp;quot;They told me there was a breach of security and David&amp;#039;s not doing it. They&amp;#039;re keeping us in the dark. Conor is heartbroken... He&amp;#039;s my son&amp;#039;s hero.&amp;quot; Kelly&amp;#039;s \u00C2\u00A33,500 bid was given to the Duchenne Musuclar Dystophy charity so she has not asked for it back. Beckham&amp;#039;s representative said: &amp;quot;We were not made aware of this charity package until the [New York Post] called us. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not the first time that we&amp;#039;ve had disreputable individuals sell packages to honest people claiming a meet and greet with David, having not spoken to him or anyone from his team to agree it. &amp;quot;As you know, David does a lot of incredible work for charities and it would mortify him that these agencies dupe people in such a way. We don&amp;#039;t condone it at all.&amp;quot; A spokesperson for the auction said: &amp;quot;It was never intended to promote on David alone. There were internal issues.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
