David Beckham Profile

Arguably the most famous footballer the world has ever seen, David Robert Joseph Beckham, born May 2, 1975, has become of the most beloved and popular footballers in the modern game, and at the age of 34, in his second loan spell at AC Milan, David Beckham looks set to continue being one of the best players England has ever seen and a top ambassador of the sport for many years to come.
Beckham’s career has evolved like few other professional footballers in modern history. Despite his humble origins as a Manchester United youngster simply trying to break into the first team, his celebrity status exploded when he married pop star Victoria Adams, formerly of the Spice Girls. The couple went on to have three children but it was his form at Manchester United that earned him reverence and the reputation as one of the top young players in the world.
In August 1996, David famously scored from inside his own half past Wimbledon goalkeeper Neil Sullivan, a strike which is still rated as one of the best ever Premier League goals. That season, he helped Manchester United win the Premier League title, as well as winning the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
