Beckham pronounces "Great" with "K" sound???

[DontBanMe]

He did it twice. It's possible he was thinking of saying 'great cup'.

Whatever! I don't really care.

Yes, it's odd. We can dismiss the first one (03.00" about) as a self-edit; I think it's more likely, given the context (though not, maybe, the speaker ) that the offending word was something like 'convention'. But the second slip (at about 23.00") is very strange. Anyway, it's a slip - nothing to worry about.

Oh, I thought he or she meant at the end of the video. It's common in working class English dialects to use a glottal stop for a /t/.

well, I think it's like what BobK said, it's just a slip of the tongue.
So, just pronounce the way it is!

Well, I second that. By the way, I'm sorry for what I did. You know what I told to one of the moderator who asked me if I was the banned one in this forum?
I was like, Well, I know I'm in the wrong. Everyone deserve a second chance. Will you please give me a second chance?
You know, I already changed my bad habits. I don't spam posting a same thread anymore. Neither do I use any chatlish sentences. The OLD me is gone and This is the NEW me. So, please accept me for WHO I AM.

Lest this should put K's nose out of joint (), I think a glottal stop is part of the story; but there's a 'slip of the tongue' as well, which makes Beckham seem to some listeners to be using /k/ instead of /t/ (which he's not).

I hear a /k/ there, not a glottal stop.
