He is very famous because of his ability of hitting wonderful free kicks and corners from long range. His celebrity status, media attention and marking potential success has also made him a star. That’s why I am writing about him. Now listen to my story as you witness this great life. Start Now this is where the story starts: David Robert Joseph Beckham was born in the city of Leytonstone, east of London, England. His father, Ted Beckham, is a kitchen fitter and his mother, Sandra West is a hairdresser. The Beckhams were strongly proud supporters of Manchester United’s team. David’s parents frequently went to watch Manchester United’s matches and they usually travel to Manchester United’s club: Old Trafford. David started playing soccer. At the age of eleven, he attended one of Bobby Charlton soccer schools at the Manchester club. Luckily, he won the chance of having a training session at the club of one of the best Spanish soccer teams, FC Barcelona, in a talent competition. He was Manchester United’s mascot for a match against Leyton Orient in 1986. He signed for Man.Utd in 1991 on a Youth Training Scheme. He played with a lot of young players : Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville and Gary Neville. These players later helped the club to win The FA Youth Cup in May 1992 with Beckham scoring in the second half of the final match against Crystal Palace.

Becoming a first team player (1995-1998)

United’s manager: Alex Ferguson had enormous confidence in his team’s players. I don’t know exactly about David’s emotions but I think that the seed inside him was beginning to grow towards the light of becoming a famous player. Now I am going to tell you his accomplishments and his losses. It is growing very exciting because there are a lot of highlights. Accomplishments: He won the FA Cup and won the FA Youth club. Also in August 1996, there was an English team called Wimbledon. When Beckham’s team was winning 2-0, Beckham noticed that The Wimbledon’s goalkeeper was standing a long way out of his goal, and he hit a shot from the halfway line that floated over the goalkeeper and into the net. The Commentator of the match, Martin Tyler, said,” You will see that goal over and over again. And during the Premier League, the audience voted that it was the goal of the decade. When he was playing on England’s national team in a World Cup game against Moldova he won. During the 1998 World Cup he won against Colombia during the sem.i-final. Winning 2-0. In 1998-1999 season, he won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. Losses: During the 1998 World Cup when playing against Argentina, he received a red card and England were eliminated. In April 2002, he was injured during a Champions League game while playing against Deportivo La Corunna. During the World Cup of 2002. England Lost against Brazil 2-1 while Beckham failed to overcome Brazil’s 1-0 lead after the first half. When Real Madrid failed in the UEFA Champions League in a disappointing fourth place. David got sent off in a match against Valencia. Also, in December 3, 2005, he was sent off in a match against Getafe in the 58th minute for a rash tackle. David married Victoria at Luttrellustown Castle, Ireland on 4th July 1999. The wedding attracted enormous media attention but it was extremely private. They have three sons, Brooklyn born March 4 ,1999, Romeo born September 1, 2002 and Cruz born February 20,2005. I don’t know about his private life but I think he bought a safe villa in Spain for his wife and children. Recently, they have had trouble with Spanish beggars seeking inside their home. I am very impressed with Beckham’s secured advertisements or commercials: Brycleem, Adidas, Vodafone, Diesel and not last but least: Gillette Razors. Even he has become more known in North American after the success of the British movie: Bend it like Beckham. It is about a British girl who Convinces David Beckham by his ambitions of being a footballer. Apparently, he has bought a ten-million dollar home in the Palm, Jumeirah, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
