5 David Beckham is one of Britain's most iconic athletes whose name is also an elite
global advertising brand.6 He was captain of the English national team from 2000 to 2006
who scored in three different FIFA World Cups.7 he who played midfield for clubs in
Manchester, England, Madrid, Spain, and Milan, Italy also won the MLS Cup playing for Los
Angeles Galaxy in 2011.
8Beckham's maternal grandfather who is Jewish has been mentioning the religion as
influence. he wears a tattoo written in Hebrew from the 'Song of Songs' in the Hebrew Bible
(Old Testament), albeit he is not known to practice Judaism or any other faith. 9Beckham
has always played in long sleeve shirts to cover up his tattoos in consideration of others who
may feel uncomfortable due to their beliefs.
10He was brought up by his parents who are supporters of Manchester United. 11he
whom attended Bobby Charlton's football school in Manchester won a spot in a training
session at FC Barcelona when was kid. In 1986 he was a Manchester United's mascot for a
match against West Ham United. From 1992 - 2003 Beckham made almost 400 appearances
for Manchester United and scored 85 goals, although his official record counts only 62 goals
in 265 official senior team's matches. In the 1998 FIFA World Cup he played all of England's
qualifying matches and scored in several important victories. 12He received a red card for
violent conduct in England's match against Argentina whose opponent then later admitted
to trying to send Beckham off by over-reacting to their contact during the game and by
urging the referee to send Beckham off. 13After losing the game England was eliminated,
Beckham who was made a scapegoat became the target of criticism and abuse in media.
He had a good season in 1999 - 2000 and helped Manchester United to win the
Premier League. At that time, he married singer Victoria Beckham (nee' Adams) from the
popular musical group The Spice Girls, and the couple had their first son, Brooklyn, born in
1999. That same year, Beckham was given a permission to miss training routine, 14 in order
to look after his son Brooklyn who suffered from a stomach infection. Meanwhile, the
Manchester United's manager, Alex Ferguson, fined Beckham £50,000 (about $80,000 then)
the maximum amount that was permitted, for babysitting with his sick child, while his wife
was spotted at a London fashion Week event on the same night. Ferguson's claim that
Beckham should be able to train if his wife stayed home that day, caused a serious personal
tension between two men.15 In February 2003, following the defeat to Arsenal, the
Manchester United's manager Alex Ferguson entered the changing room and kicked a
football boot that struck Beckham over the eye.16 It was causing a cut that required
stitches.
David Beckham has been a good scorer and a major attraction for public. On the field
he has been demonstrating his consistent ability to see a big picture even under severe
pressure during the most rapidly changing and unpredictable games. 17 He whose field
vision has been remarkable allowing to create many assists in a number of important
matches . Beckham's forte has been his delivery from the right-hand side as well as his
efficient free kicks. His superior performances in the midfield position has required a higher
physical endurance through the entire game. "David Beckham's right foot" was mentioned,
although humorously, as one of British national treasures in the movie Love Actually (2003).
He signed a four-year contract with Real Madrid, beginning on July 1, 2003, and
worth a potential 40 million dollars. In Madrid, Beckham was not allowed to wear his
favorite number seven, because another player had the right to wear it written into his
contract. Beckham decided to wear the number 23 instead, being a big fan of Michael
Jordan. He immediately became popular with the Real Madrid fans, but the team did not
perform well enough to win either the Spanish League or the Champions League. However,
Beckham remained a reliable scorer and his performances attracted more public. 18 His shirts
sales and other merchandising deals which continued to under-perform remained lucrative
for the club, regardless of the madrid management's higher expectations.
In 2005 Beckham became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. He was also involved in
promoting London's successful bid for the 2012 Olympic Games. His third season in Madrid
was unremarkable, and he was criticized a lot, mainly because the team finished second to
Barcelona in Spanish "La Liga" and lost to Arsenal in the European Champions League.
However, during that season, he expanded his international presence by establishing
football academies in Los Angeles and East London. During the FIFA World Cup 2006, he
played for England, and became the first ever English player to score in three World Cups. In
the quarter final game against Portugal, Beckham was replaced because of his injury in the
middle of the game. Without him the English team lost and was knocked out of the World
Cup.
19In June 2007, Beckham whose final game played for real madrid winning a medal.
20he celebrating with his friends Tom and Katie Cruse, who attended the game. This was his
fourth, and last season there, ending his contract with the club. He announced that he had
signed a five-year contract to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy from July 1, 2007 through June
2012. The 5-year deal includes up to $10 million a year in direct salary, and with
merchandising endorsements and profit-sharing could earn Beckham up to $50 million a
year, and may end up worth about $250 million in five years, making him one of the highest
earning athletes of all time.
In 2009, in a unique time share agreement David played on loan at AC Milan to
maintain his fitness after ending the season with the Galaxy. He ended up staying with Milan
for five months, from January to May 2009. In 2010, he also arranged to embark on a
second loan spell at AC Milan from the Galaxy, to play for Milan for another five months. He
said that he "genuinely enjoyed playing for Milan."
In 2011, after winning his first MLS Cup, his five-year deal with the Los Angeles
Galaxy ended. At that time, Beckham was invited to play for Paris Saint-Germain. But the 36-
year-old player said "My family and I are incredibly happy and settled in America and we
look forward to spending many more years here... I am still passionate about playing in
America and winning trophies with the Galaxy" he stated after signing another two-year
contract with the Los Angeles club.
Beckham's jersey No 23 is the best selling in the MLS and one of the best in the
world, as he expands his image as one of sport's leading icons. Although he plays his best in
the right of midfield, Beckham can be dangerous anywhere in the field and can make a
difference in a big game with a pass, a cross, or a free kick. Arguably no one in the game can
rival Beckham's accuracy in free kicks, as he can put that ball on a teammate's head with
uncanny precision. He is still a decisive player, regardless of age.
21The Beckhams, who have become known as "Posh and Becks", have three sons:
Brooklyn Joseph Beckham (born 1999), Romeo James Beckham (born 2002), and 22 Cruz
David Beckham (born 2005) who was named "Cruz" in honor of their friend Tom Cruise.
