DAVID BECKHAM "THE FOOTBALL LEGEND"-
David Robert Joseph Beckham OBE (born May 2, 1975) is an English footballer who
Beckham is the 2nd most capped England player of all time (115). He is also the only Englishman to score in three different World Cups. . He was captain of the English national team from 15 November 2000 to 2 July 2006.
Beckham's career began when he signed a professional contract with Manchester United, making his first first-team appearance in 1992, at the age of 17. While with Manchester United he played a key role in their dominance of the FA Premier League, being pivotal in accomplishing The Treble of the League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League in 1999. During this time, he was managed by Alex Ferguson. Allegedly Ferguson once threw a shoe at Beckham in the changing room. Though, despite their differences they have mutual respect.
Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had.
In 1999, he maried Victoria (one of the Spice Girls). The marriage attracted great media attention. His football manager, Alex Ferguson later criticised this by saying:He was never a problem until he got married. He used to go into work with the academy coaches at night time, he was a fantastic young lad. Getting married into that entertainment scene was a difficult thing - from that moment, his life was never going to be the same. He is such a big celebrity, football is only a small part.'
IN WORLD CUP-
In his first world cup, David Beckham was sent off in the quarter final against Argentina for a petulant kick - a game England went on to lose. This made him a public enemy number one. However, he redeemed himself during the next few seasons. In particular, his spectacular last minute free kick against Greece to enable England to qualify for the 2002 World Cup finals.
