David Beckham Bio, Age, Height, Family, Position, Net Worth & Wiki

David Robert Joseph Beckham played professional football for the English national team. A successful stint at some of the world’s best clubs combined with his skills as a midfielder elevated him above many of his contemporaries resulted in him becoming one of the most well-known players in the world while he was playing. Before joining the Manchester United training scheme for young players, Beckham played for a few local clubs in his hometown of London. During the mid and late 1990s, Manchester United went on an unprecedented winning spree and David Beckham tasted success.

He became one of Manchester United’s most famous players after winning the prestigious ‘treble’ and then played for Real Madrid, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, and the Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy in the United States. He was also a member of the supposed ‘Golden Generation’ of the England national football team and captained it for most of his career; however, the team did not achieve the success it had been expected to achieve. In addition to being regarded as one of the world’s richest players, Beckham is also one of the biggest faces in the endorsement industry.
