Born in east London, Beckham began his football career at Tottenham
Hotspur but signed schoolboy forms for Manchester United on his
14th birthday. He was part of the team that won the FA Youth Cup in
1992 and, having made his senior debut in 1994, soon established
himself as United's right-sided midfielder. Beckham was integral to
the club's success during him time at Old Trafford, winning six
Premier League medals, two FA Cups and being part of the legendary
Treble-winning side of 1999. Beckham has also been a major player
for England since making his international debut in 1996. His
infamous sending-off against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup looked
set to ruin his England career but thanks to his impressive
perfomances and his attitude on and off the pitch, he won
supporters round and became England captain in 2000. Similarly,
Manchester United supporters were rocked by Beckham's move to Real
Madrid in 2003, but he is still held in high regard by the club and
fans alike. Awarded the OBE in 2003, Beckham is now an iconic
figure in English football and has been instrumental in England's
bid to host the 2018 World Cup. Although injury sadly put paid to
his dream of playing in the 2010 Finals, his status is such that he
travelled with the England team to South Africa to act as a mentor.
As much a brand as a fooballer, and with a celebrity lifestyle most
can only dream of, David Beckham is much more than a footballing
legend.
