David Beckham (Letterman)

David Beckham, born 2 May 1975, is an English footballer who currently plays in midfield for AcMilan in Serie A, on loan from Major League Soccer club Los Angeles Galaxy. He is also an established member of the England national team.
Twice runner-up for FIFA World Player of the Year and in 2004 the world's highest-paid footballer, Beckham was the first British footballer to play 100 Champions League matches. He was Google's most searched of all sports topics in both 2003 and 2004. With such global recognition he has become an elite advertising brand and a top fashion icon. Beckham was captain of England from 15 November 2000 until the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals during which he played 58 times. Since then he has continued to represent his country and earned his much-publicised hundredth cap for England against France on 26 March 2008. He is currently England's most-capped outfield player with 115 appearances. Beckham's career began when he signed a professional contract with Manchester United, making his first-team debut in 1992 aged 17. During his time there, United won the Premier League title six times, the FA Cup twice, and the UEFA Champions League in 1999. He left Manchester United to sign for Real Madrid in 2003, where he remained for four seasons, clinching the La Liga championship in his final season with the club. Beckham's contract with Los Angeles Galaxy became effective on 1 July 2007 and gave him the highest player salary in MLS history. His playing contract with Galaxy in 2007, 2008 and 2009 was worth $6.5m per year. He debuted for the team on 21 July 2007 in a friendly versus Chelsea at The Home Depot Center, and on 15 August, he had his first start with the team, scoring his first goal in the 2007 SuperLiga semi-final. His first league start then came on 18 August in front of a record crowd at Giants Stadium.
Beckham is married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.

why do people always slag off Beckham, true he was never the best on the planet but to say he had no dribbling ability is fucking ridiculous, he is a great ambassador for football and England all over the world, great role model and great footballer.. even if he was never best on the planet. All you haters try and hit a cross or free kick like he has done and still does. No Chance.

@MrCruZ1992 American football? Fuck American football! Mate I am European, I love the real football.

[BigBoss7777777]

@Joricky12 Lol what the hell are you talking about? Barcelona have won more Champions League titles, more league titles, more World titles, more everything. Man u is the most overrated club of all time, you're not even in the top 5 most successful teams in Europe.

Do you not think that american people call football soccer we should call american football-american soccer?

[joseie98]

@A1phawolf i so agree with you!! btw who do you support?

[A1phawolf]

You people who slag off football have no fucking idea what you are missing. It's such a great sport. I'm not a hooligan, racist, or anything else you want to label football supporters as...i just love high tension and excitement. Other than porn & sex, football is the only other thing that does that in my life. Stop being ignorant and open your mind a little.

@daveyboi1990 Agree completely, I mean I know it's a bit cliche, but even now his crossing is simply unbelievable.

@MrCruZ1992

1st: Learn to fucking read, you always say shit that I didnt say.

2nd: I didnt call Basel a great team, I said they were doing great. They are giant killers who win because all the big teams underestimate them, which was Manchester United's biggest mistake. But that doesnt take away that Manchester United still is one of the best clubs in the world. 2nd place in PL?

3rd: You know absolutely nothing of football, go learn something about it, then come back to argue with me.

[MrCruZ1992]

@Joricky12 i know enough that "best club on the planet" doesnt qualify champion league k.o stage.. and calling basel a great team is just lame excuse for not qualifying..

[MrCruZ1992]

@Joricky12 "basel is just great team" that lame even for neutral like me
