And after suitable training the 36-year-old is seen slotting one past the keeper from a spot kick whilst being unable to see.
The footage has been released to promote retailer Sainsbury's Million Kids Challenge.
The supermarket – official partner of the Paralympic Games – hopes to inspire children of all ages and abilities to lead healthier and more active lifestyles.
And Paralympic Games Ambassador Beckham says he was humbled to train
He said: "It has been a fantastic experience training with the ParalympicsGB five-a-side football squad as I have never experienced or participated in blind football before.
"They are a real testament to the quality of our Paralympic athletes.
"The character and determination they show by doing this every single day, makes me proud to be British."
Dave Clarke, ParalympicsGB five-a-side football captain said: "Spending a day training with a world football icon like David Beckham was a great experience we will never forget.
"This opportunity allowed our squad to showcase the skills and levels of concentration needed to participate in blind football at an elite level.
"With David's support and through the Sainsbury's Million Kids Challenge, we are encouraging much of the UK to experience Paralympic Sports for the first time."-sunuk
