Synopsis

Whether you call it football or soccer, there's no disputing that David Beckham is one of the best players in the history of the game!

Whenever a young David Beckham was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he'd always answer with the same response: I want to be a footballer. This English native got his wish when he joined the Manchester United team in 1991. Since then, he has been crossing, bending, and free-kicking his way to stardom. In his twenty-year career as a professional soccer player, he has won nineteen major trophies, and appeared at three FIFA World Cup tournaments.

David Beckham has become an international cultural icon for his soccer skills, his charity work, and his fashionable wife and family. Young soccer fans are in for a treat with this Who HQ book.

Goodreads review by David on February 28, 2025

This was an enjoyable read even though pro-soccer is not a sport I follow. David Beckham's life story (to date) is filled with sport, fashion, and a famous wife. I prefer the biographies written about past historical figures. The current men and women featured in the Who Is... Series have not stood......more
