David Beckham – The dashing football player
David Beckham is a well-known English football player. Playing in the England team under number 7 has always been lucky for him. His football career started with the training sessions at FC Barcelona, where he worked very hard and polished his skills. Soon he played from Manchester against West Ham United in 1986. His parents were Manchester United’s fan and they inculcated the love of the league in their son as well.
The significance of number 7 has been great in his life. David grabbed his debut for UEFA champion’s league on 7th December 1994. Beckham practised hard and worked as a right-sided midfielder rather than right-winger. He has been playing for Manchester United; however he did not make it to the England team’s squad until UEFA Euro 96. He got placed as number 10 at first but when number 7 player retired, he got back his lucky number 7 jersey, which brought along huge successes for him. Beckham soon became renowned for his game and his attribution with the digit was commonly talked about.
David continued playing for the league, with his fame talking to sky. However, season 1999-2000 did not prove to be lucky for him. The extremely talented player committed a foul, giving a rise to the controversy that his marriage with the vocalist of female pop band, Spice Girls, had adversely affected his play. Media blamed the remarkable player that after marriage he wasn’t performing well, and he should be disqualified from the team. Despite the negative media reviews, his team manager gave him a chance to strike back for his team. On 10th April 2002 Beckham broke his left metatarsal bone causing severe injury, and as a result, he was unable to play for premier league. After the injury Manchester United was keen to trade Beckham with FC Barcelona, but rather than going to Barcelona, Beckham signed a 35 million Euros contract with Real Madrid and started his career in Real Madrid’s team in 2003.
In July 2004, a man tried to assassinate Beckham while he was in Spain, trying to burn the whole apartment. However, David’s guard stopped him and saved his wife Victoria and his children. On 11th January 2007 Real Madrid’s coach announced that Beckham would not be playing for the team any longer. Beckham announced his new team contract with Los Angeles Galaxy on 1st July 2007.
In the meantime, he was offered to act in a Hollywood movie. During this time, he had a lot of interaction with actor Tom Cruise. In the 2008 he played for the Milan’s for some time but soon returned to his team Los Angeles Galaxy in 2009.
In November 2009, it was again announced that Beckham will be playing for Milan for the second time in January 2010. David Beckham played number 32 in Milan and proved his worth to his fans all over the world. David’s success seems to be growing with every passing day. So far, he has played international football and in England’s national league, taking his ranking to the top. He was amongst those few football players, who get fame overnight. He is not only a dedicated football player, but also a top-rated model.
