London, July 14(ANI): A British teenager, who once met his idol David Beckham when selected as an England football mascot, was stabbed to death on a Greek holiday island in a bust-up with local taxi drivers.
According to The Sun, Robert Sebbage was fatally stabbed in the heart in Zante after a row over taxi fares escalated into violence.
The 18-year-old was on a holiday with his friends after battling a serious bowel disorder.
"Tempers flared, they exchanged insults, then began beating each other. Then the cabbie just lost it. There are no words to explain why he went so berserk, but he suddenly produced a knife and, egged on by a friend, lunged out and stabbed whoever he could," a Greek police officer said.
"This has made our worst fears come true. A holidaymaker lost his life over a misunderstanding - over insults and macho behaviour by young men on either side," he added.
Sebbage was led on to the Wembley pitch by Beckham before England's friendly with Brazil in 2007. (ANI)
