Hi Steemians!
Signed up to the registry office as David Robert Joseph Beckham, better known without the second names, was a player who has, during all the years spent on the football field, more "careers" at the same time. Willy-nilly it is not possible to identify him just as a football player, he was also a model in the true sense of the word as well as a real business man. Since the days when he married the former Spice girls Victoria Adams, he was awarded the nickname of Spice boy, idol of fans and teenagers, so much so that he was even dedicated the title of a film of 16 years ago , directed by Gurinder Chadha, which is still famous all over the world entitled "Bend It Like Beckham".
It has undoubtedly been a unique player, its qualities can not be found in many of his teammates, central midfielder or atypical playmaker, who made his shot to effect its strong point, his running is even more anomalous , was due to the fact that he found a leg longer than the other, discovered only when he went to play on Spain. Number 7 of Manchester United in the mid 90s until the early 2000s, of which it was a real flag, managed to bring up the name of the Red Devils throughout Europe winning a Champions League and an Intercontinental Cup in the 1998/99 season, he has done equally well at home, winning 6 Premier League and 2 FA Cup.
Not only idol of the Red Devils fans, the club that launched him in the Olympus of football but also in the national territory is considered one of the greatest ever, one of the few to be able to break the record of 100 games played with the jersey of the English national team, despite this he never managed to win any trophy with the three lions' shirt. A real goal machine if we consider the free kicks, more than fifty during his career, in this specialty that has managed to make unique in the years, even thanks to a physical defect, practically no player has managed to do something like that.
Started in the youths of Tottenham, then go later in Brimsdown Rovers, Manchester Utd and Preston NE, returned home in the Red Devils in which he remained 8 seasons managing to score 62 goals in 261 official matches, then he went to the Blancos, where his average goal fell, in Real Madrid he managed to score "only" 13 times in 116 matches, after an adventure in Spain without too much success, but still winning one Liga and a National Cup, he landed in the Major League Soccer in the USA with the L.A. Galaxy, in 2009 instead arrives in Serie A, playing in the ranks of the A.C. Milan and making a relay between Milan and Los Angeles for a couple of seasons and then close his career, once again without too much clamor in Paris Saint Germain.
During his long career, which lasted 21 years, he earned a total astronomical figure of almost forty-six million dollars. As already mentioned earlier, he was and still is a business man, a real money machine, not surprisingly since the days of Manchester was nicknamed Golden Boy, he had "behind his back" the beauty of 15 top-level sponsors , with some of these is still under contract that literally have and still cover him with gold, the most different brands have literally wanted him as a testimonial of their companies, among which: Gillette, Adidas, Coca-cola, EA Sports and Emporio Armani.
He loves Tattoos, which does not hide absolutely and among which he has the name of all four of his children, suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder because of which he is afraid of birds, he loves wines, cars and motorcycles, as well as photography. He has acted as a marginal actor in some films, among which the triology Goal, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and King Arthur - Legend of the Sword, these two last directed by both the English director Guy Ritchie.
