The day has come, we knew it would happen,
David Beckham has announced his retirement from professional football. Perhaps
the Mayans got the date wrong and this is the end of the world!
The news broke today and instantly took
over every twitter and news channel just showing how popular and relevant David
is. He’s had a career every young boy and lets face it every grown man who
knows the offside rule could only dream of, even Becks himself said it was his
‘fantasy’.
We should all thank Bobby Charlton for
spotting David at a soccer school in Barcelona prompting him signing schoolboy
terms with Manchester United age 14. It was here he spent most of his career,
the figurehead of the famous youth class of 1992, 394 games were played, 85
goals scored, trophies collected year after year. Then he took over Spain
playing for giants real Madrid 115 times before moving stateside cementing his
status as global star playing for LA galaxy 118 times with a loan spell at AC
Milan racking up another 33 games before finally ending his career with newly
crowned French league leaders PSG.
Thankfully our lives will not be Beckham
free, with ambassadorial duties for Sky Sports, Adidas and Unicef to name a few
along with his iconic celebrity status there will be plenty of Becks based news
to meet our needs.
However, there’ll be no more David Beckham
in shorts. No more David Beckham swapping shirts at the end of a match. No more
sweaty torso’s of the week in ‘Heat Magazine’.
Wipe away those tears and cheer yourself up
with these…
