David Beckham is known particulary for his
pin point accuracy at crossing, his ability to
deliver long range passes and his strong
bending free kicks.
In 1999 David Beckham won the treble with
manchester united. His performances that
year saw him nominated for the Balon d'Or
and fifa best player of the year award only to
come second to Rivaldo in both categories.

To highlight his great career; Beckham won a phenomenal 6 Premier League titles, 2 FA cups, 4 Community Shields, a Champions League title, 2 MLS Cups (USA), The Ligue title (France) and La Liga (Spain).

England overrates all their indigenous players. If Kevin de bruyne was an English player no one would hear word.

No be mouth bros.. Let the stats speak for itself
Beckham was always a major threat on the pitch esp with spot kicks. You don't giveaway a careless freekick on your half of the pitch when you have a player like Beckham on the opposing team.

As for England overhyping their players, shay comot Kean from that category. That guy no nice at all

Beckham was an above average player, he was good but not on the level of midfielders like Zidane or Pirlo.

I don't think he's overrated, won almost everything. He even won the UEFA club footballer of the year in 1999. Had great set piece ability, passing, crossing and gave it all on the pitch. If he had gone to a top club rather than the MLS, he would be regarded differently, in some way his celebrity life overshadowed his footballing contributions.

An average player is not nominated for the final three of World player of the year TWICE, coming second on both occasions.

At a point between 2000 - 2002, Beckham was Man Utd's most important player. So good were his free kicks, crosses and long-range shots then that he almost always made a telling impact in most of the matches he played.

In fact, the general feeling was that if Deportivo had not broken his ankle in 2001/2002 UCL Quarter final, Man utd would probably have won the 01/02 UCL or at least got to the final against Real Madrid. They would definitely have dispatched Leverkusen.

Becks was a truly world class player in his prime. That he could multi-task well and thus make a mark in the celebrity entertainment world is no crime that should be held against him.
