David Beckham

While he has since retired from the sport, David Beckham is still regarded as a football icon. He is perhaps well-known for his time with Manchester United, leading the time with six Premier League titles and a UEFA Champions League title. In addition, he has been one of the most successful football players to have ever played for the English national team. These made him one of the most successful football players of all time, even becoming the highest-paid athlete at one point. Today, he has devoted his time and investment to managing football teams in Britain and America.

Before that, though, Beckham was an aspiring football player. His parents have already been supporting him as fanatical fans of Manchester United. He indeed inherited his parents’ love of football and subsequently attended football schools to hone his skills. He eventually signed on to his parents’ favorite team in 1991 as a young player and the rest is history.
