David first kicked a ball at Old Trafford in December 1986 when as an 11 year old he became the TSB Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills Champion for his age group. The prize was a two week trip to train with Terry Venables' Barcelona side. In 1987 David made another appearance in front of the United fans as the United mascot for the away game at Upton Park.

Diego Maradona in 1986 against England. But not the famous "Hand of God" as many people mistakenly have pointed out in the answers. It's the goal that Maradona scored just after the famous Handgoal. With his breathtaking, marvelous slalom started in his own midfield, the chubby Argentinian maestro makes a mockery of more than half of the English team including the helpless Hall-of Fame keeper Shilton. That goal will be hard to top for years. It was Diego's apology to God minutes after the infamous handplay cheat.

Place of birth Leytonstone, London, England.\nDavid Robert Joseph Beckham OBE (born 2 May 1975) is an English footballer who plays for Real Madrid and is captain of the English national team. He is also famed well beyond football for his media attention, marriage to former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham and marketing potential. Beckham is one of only four players to have appeared 100 times in the UEFA Champions League.\n\nBeckham's career began when he signed for Manchester United in 1989 and signed a professional contract with them soon after making his first first-team appearance in 1992. By 1995, he had established himself as a first-team player and he won Premier League and FA Cup winners' medals with the club in 1996. He was selected to play for England after winning another league medal in 1997, but was sent off in a World Cup match against Argentina for kicking Diego Simeone. Beckham consequently became a figure of public hatred among many English football supporters, but he continued to play well and helped United win the treble of league, FA Cup, and Champions League in 1999. However, his relationship with the club's manager Sir Alex Ferguson began to deteriorate, and although he won further league championships with United in 2000 and 2001, he left the club to join Real Madrid in 2003, after another league title that year. His performances for Madrid have attracted considerable praise but the team has not been successful in winning major trophies during his time there.

I really want to help you since it's my background. Here's some info from the book 'Sports' The Complete visual Reference':\n "It roots back to antiquity (called sphaira by the Greeks and ollis by the Romans); in Renaissance Italy, a more elaborate version, calcio, was played. Soccer as we know it today was invented in England in the mid 19th century (1848). The first club, Sheffield Football Club, was formed in 1863, and the first competition, the Football Association (FA) Challenge Cup, was organized in 1842. The Federation international de football association (FIFA) was founded in 1904. A demonstration sport in the Olympics of 1900 and 1904, soccer became an official Olympic event in 1908. Soccer is universal because its equipment and rules are simple and because of global coverage of the World Cup. No other international event is followed so closely, due mainly to television broadcasting of matches since 1958. (1.7 billion viewers watched the France-Brazil final in 1998). Today, 203 countries are FIFA members."\n\nHope this helps for some history. I have a lot more information I can give you, but my fingers for now are tired of typing. Anyways, you can write me at lasorna@hotmail.com and subject: 'I need Soccer Info' and I'll respond. I hope you do an excellent job on your project. Good Luck.

Bolton Wanderers 2 West Ham United 0 (FACF)\nWembley's first event was the FA Cup Final of 1923 and that April day was marked by some unprecedented scenes. Before the match a huge crowd outside the stadium rushed the gates, burst through the barriers and swarmed onto the field of play. More than 200,000 people attempted to squeeze into a ground that had been built to accommodate 125,000.\n\nIt took forty-five minutes after the time fixed for the kick-off for mounted police to clear the pitch, with PC George Scorey and his white horse "Billy" particularly visible. The first Wembley goal came only a couple of minutes after the delayed start, and David Jack, Bolton's inside-right, was the scorer. Eight minutes into the second period Bolton scored another, clinching goal. John Smith took a pass from Vizard on the left and sent in a half-volley. The ball hit the back of a net pulled tight by the crowd behind it and rebounded back into play.\n\n\nSo the answer is David Jack of Bolton Wanderers

Not one country.\nGames revolving around the kicking of a ball have been played in many countries through history. The earliest documented version is the Mesoamerica ballgame, played by the Olmec as early as 1500 BCE. The Chinese game Cuju is mentioned in military manuals from the time of the Qin Dynasty (255–206 BCE).[3] Other ancient ball games include kemari in Japan and the Roman game Harpastum. Various forms of mob football were played in mediæval Europe, though rules varied greatly by both period and location.\nThe modern game developed in England following the formation of the Football Association, whose 1863 set of rules created the foundations for the way the sport is played today.

Don't know who scored the goal.  But the first FIFA match was May 1, 1904.  The match was held in Brussels, Belgium.  The game was between Belgium and France.

David Beckham\n\nDavid Robert Joseph Beckham OBE (born May 2, 1975) is an English footballer born in Leytonstone, London. He is a midfielder for Real Madrid and captain of the English national team. He is noted for the quality of his crossing and ability to hit free-kicks and corners, particularly at long-range free-kicks and also for his marriage to a Spice Girl. He has played most of his career for Manchester United. Although there are arguably many better current players in world football none are as famous.\n\nManchester United 1995-2003\n\nBeckham first signed a YTS (youth training scheme) contract (this is similar to an apprenticeship) with United in 1991, and made his League debut in 1995, aged 19. The next year he helped the side to the Premiership and FA Cup trophies and to their dominance of domestic football. In the 1998-99 season, he was part of the United team that won the "treble" - Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, a feat unprecedented in English football, which earned the club's manager, Alex Ferguson, a knighthood.\n  \n \nIn total, Beckham scored 86 goals in 397 games for Man United, a rate of roughly 2 goals every 9 games, highly commendable for a midfielder.\n\nClub Career\n\nReal Madrid 2003-present\n\nOn June 17, 2003, Beckham signed a four-year contract with Real Madrid of Spain, potentially worth up to €35 million (£25 million, USD 41 million). Plus 2.\n\nApart from benefiting from his football ability, this transfer gives the Spanish club an opportunity to profit from merchandising, especially in the Far East, where Beckham is enormously popular, and Manchester United have until now had the lion's share of interest. It is probably no coincidence that Beckham was transferred just before Real started a far-eastern tour, but it would be very unfair to say that his marketing potential alone was the only reason for his transfer. At the time of the announcement of his transfer to Real Madrid, Beckham and his wife (Victoria) were on a week-long tour of Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand promoting beauty products, chocolate, motor oil, and mobile phones, which it was reported would earn them more than the entire first year of his Real Madrid contract. (Western journalists are excluded from the Japanese "press conferences" organised by his sponsors because of the embarrassment they would cause him in the West.)\n\nHe successfully completed the transfer on July 1 and was presented with the squad number of 23 on July 2. He is believed to have chosen the number as a tribute to his idol, Michael Jordan, who made number 23 famous with the Chicago Bulls. Real Madrid shirts bearing his name and number were sold out in Madrid on the day his transfer was completed and Real Madrid were expected to receive €624,000 for the sale of the shirts.\n\nHis transfer to Real Madrid has proven very fruitful for both Beckham and the club. Beckham scored five times in his first 16 matches (including Real's 600th goal in the European Cup/Champions League, against Olympique Marseille on 26 November 2003), a higher scoring rate than his last year at Manchester United (11 goals in 52 games). He has become a favourite of the notoriously fickle Real Madrid crowd, and established an excellent playing relationship with Ronaldo.\n\nDuring the summer of 2004, Real also signed Englishmen Michael Owen and Jonathan Woodgate.\n\nInternational Career - England\n\nBy 1998 he was a regular international, and travelled with the England squad to the FIFA World Cup. In the second round of that competition he received a red-card for retaliation, following a foul challenge by the Argentine Diego Simeone. This act arguably cost England the game (which they lost on penalties) and the chance of advancing in the tournament. On returning home, Beckham became the target of criticism, sometimes justified (the accusation of petulance, for example) but much merely gratuitous. He received a similar vilification fo

Various forms of mob football were played in mediæval Europe, though rules varied greatly by both period and location.\n\nThe rules of football as they are codified today are based on mid-19th century efforts to standardise the widely varying forms of football played at the public schools of England. The first set of rules resembling the modern game were produced at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1848, at a meeting attended by representatives from Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester and Shrewsbury schools, but they were not universally adopted. During the 1850s, many clubs unconnected to schools or universities were formed throughout the English-speaking world to play various forms of football. Some came up with their own distinct codes of rules, most notably the Sheffield Football Club (formed by former pupils from Harrow) in 1857, which led to formation of a Sheffield FA in 1867. In 1862, John Charles Thring of Uppingham School also devised an influential set of rules.[4]
