He was born on May 2, 1975 in London and from earlychildhood began to get involved in football. At first, he performed in such semi-professional clubs as Ridgeway Rovers or BSCS, but later got first to the youth academy of the Norwich Club, after which he ended up at the Leyton Orient club. In early 1987, when he was only 12 years old, Beckham was accepted into Tottenham Academy, and a couple of years later he reached his final point, namely Manchester United. There, and spent in the end most of his career, David Beckham. The football player’s biography, of course, includes other clubs, but “MJ” was the first for him.
Game for "Manchester"
David Beckham, whose biography is knownalmost every football fan was a huge talent, and from the very first months in the “MJ” they predicted a great future. Already in 1992, when he was only 17 years old, he made his debut in the main team in the League Cup match. However, the next season he did not have a place in the composition, so in 1994, the young Beckham was sent to rent in a small club "Preston North End", speaking at the time in the Third Division.
There he played five games, was marked by twofirst professional goals in his career, and then returned to the “MJ”, where in the remaining half of the season he appeared on the field ten more times, also scoring his first goal for this club. Since 1995, the 20-year-old midfielder has become a regular player of the base. He went out in almost every match and worked wonders on the field. Already in 1996 he won his First Championship of England and the first Cup of England, and in 1999 he added to his collection the trophy every football player dreams of - the Champions League Cup.
Whole David Beckham, whose biography is notlimited to Manchester United, played 389 official matches for him and scored 83 goals. He became a real legend "MJ". Largely thanks to him, the club has won during this time six Championships of England and two Cup of England. However, in 2003, it was time for a change, and the 28-year-old footballer switched to Real Madrid for 37.5 million euros.
Go to the "Real"
It's no secret that “Real” is one ofthe strongest clubs in the world, so the transition of a star of the first magnitude of this magnitude caused a great resonance in society. But Beckham without any problems began to work out the money that was paid for him. For four seasons, he spent 155 matches and scored 20 goals. However, his stay at the club did not fall on the best period, so he only added the Spanish Championship to his trophy collection, and he managed to get it only in the last season in 2007. Then Beckham’s contract expired, and he went to work in the United States, where the Los Angeles Galaxy Club signed a new agreement with him.
Moving to the USA
It was clear to everyone that Becks star had already entered.Beckham David, whose career turned out to be incredibly bright, continued in the United States, but this was far from the level of football. For the first year and a half in Galaxy, the midfielder had a fairly successful lead, he played in 32 games and scored 6 goals in them. After that, he received a lease offer in the Italian Milan, which he accepted. For six months in Milan, he spent another twenty games, scoring two goals, after which he returned to the United States.
However, this story did not end just like this:six months later, 15 matches and two goals, Becks again went to Milan, with whom he spent another half of the season. Naturally, at this age his condition was already far from ideal, so he did not appear on the field so often. During the second lease, he played 13 matches, but did not score a single goal scored.
Back in 2010 at Galaxy, Beckhamcontinued performances for the club, playing 118 more matches and scoring 20 goals. During his time at the American club, he helped Galaxy win the URF Cup twice, win the URL Championship three times, and also triumph over the UCLA playoffs. In 2012, when his contract with the club came to an end, Beckham wanted to announce the end of his football career, but received an offer from the French club Paris Saint-Germain, which was recently acquired by Arab sheikhs and needed promotion. And who in the world of football at that time was the brightest representative? Of course Beckham!
Completion of a career in "PSG"
Когда он подписал краткосрочный контракт с «ПСЖ», Beckham was already 38 years old, so no one expected incredible results from him. Rather, he was a media person to attract attention. But despite this, he nevertheless entered the field 14 times, although he did not score a single goal.
National team appearances
Naturally, Beckham became a legend not only onclub level. In England, he made his debut in September 1996 in a match against Moldova. And in 1998 I went to the World Championship, where I played in three games and scored my first goal for the national team, which fell on a group match against Colombia.
На чемпионате Европы 2000 года Бекхэм уже был the player of the base and in three games gave three assists, but this did not help the English to leave the group. At the 2002 World Cup Beckham went already with the captain's armband and helped the team to reach the quarterfinals, scoring one goal and giving three successful passes. At Euro 2004, the British were again able to reach only the quarterfinals, and Beckham gave two assists. The last major tournament for David was the 2006 World Cup, where the England team again stopped in the ¼ finals phase, and Beckham again scored one goal and gave three assists.
The last match for the national team Beckham held in October2009 - it was a qualifying game against the national team of Belarus, and there David gave the last assists. In total, he played 115 matches for the national team, scoring 17 goals and giving up 38 goal passes.
