When Beckham went up to receive the award in front of hundreds of sporting greats and heroes together with thousands of ordinary members of the public he received one of the loudest, longest and most heart felt standing ovations and receptions I have ever witnessed.
Brand
We all know about Beckham the brand and the work he does away from football and some people like it and others hate it. Many of us know about the fantastic work he does for charity and we have seen him heavily involved in both the successful bid for the 2012 Olympics and the unsuccessful bid for the 2018 World Cup.
Beckham has been a fantastic ambassador for football and for his country and like it or not, he has been a decent role model as a father and husband.
Stupid
The common perception of Beckham is that he is stupid. Surely that ridiculous perception can be put to bed once and for all can’t it? He might sound a bit thick but he has surely proved that he isn’t.
What I want to talk about is David Beckham the footballer. I have heard many people talking about the fact that he is not and never has been a great player. Even George Best once said that Beckham couldn’t kick with his left foot, couldn’t head the ball, couldn’t dribble and couldn’t shoot.
Insult
People say that it is an insult to even suggest that Beckham should be considered in the same category as other great players.
I want to put that ridiculous idea to bed as well.
David Beckham has played for Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan and England. Not many
