Since the start of his career at Manchester United in
1993, David Beckham has rocketed to a status many footballers can only aspire
to. Becoming the best-known footballer across the globe, and England's 'Golden
Balls'.
Beckham lit up the Premier League when he scored from the
half way mark for Manchester United in the 1996-1997 season, and his status has
never stopped growing.
He has played for several of Europe's elite during his
illustrious career including Real Madrid, AC Milan and most recently PSG.
Beckham announced his retirement after winning the Ligue One title with PSG,
declaring that he simply wanted to end on a high as the reason for his
departure from the game.
Beckham spent 10 years at Old Trafford with just a short
loan spell at Preston North End between 1994-1995, breaking his time up under
Sir Alex. A man Beckham would later come to adhere to as, his 'football father
figure'.
