David Beckham

[doodab]

Has retired from football.

I can remember when it was the done thing to mock him as an air headed media bimbo. He's turned out to be a man of some considerable substance hasn't he...

Becks and posh have had some great advisors however I think both of them are a lot more clued on they people think

Brand Beckham will continue for a while though

[cojak]

I've always loved Derek and I wish him well...

"End it like Beckham"

[Ketchup]

A lot of people seem to think he is a brand first and a footballer second, this is far from the truth, he has always been an outstanding footballer and a proper professional. A lot of current footballers could learn a lot from him.

True. You don't play as many games for the teams he has played for, and win as many trophies as he's done unless you're a damn good player.

In some ways that made him. He was a lot more famous after that, and he came back strongly for United the following seasons. People barely remember it now.

I thought he'd retired from football years ago

Isn't he an underwear model nowadays???

The brand would never have come without him first getting noticed as a footballer.
