I was browsing through the general discussions in speakers corners and happened upon this - I have read a few of the reviews and I'm not going to tell you his life story, club history or similar - I am going to tell you why I respect him as a person and an athlete. Obviously for myself, especially when David Beckham was just starting out, I had the inherent feeling about David Beckham as many non Manchester United fans of - git.

David Beckham is an English midfielder born in Leytonstone on 2nd May 1975. The position with which he is synonymous is right midfield, although he has been known to play central midfielder. He has amassed 102 caps (as of 17/06/08), and currently plays his football in America for LA Galaxy. Beckham started his career at Manchester United in 1993, and stayed there until 2003, when he moved to Real Madrid for a rumoured £25m.
