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.

Thats Eric Cantona.Played in England for Leeds United before making that suicidal move across the Pennines to Man United.\nI don't know if this is true but i heard that the reason he had to leave Leeds was because he was caught shagging a Team Mates wife who i won't mention ;-)

Ghana who have had exceptional world -class players like Abedi Pele of Marseille,Anthony Yeboah of Leeds United and Eintracht Frankfurt fame but failed to qualify for the World Cup.\nThis time though Fernebahce's stephen Appiah who has great influence on the team will partner with Chelsea's Michael Essien to make the African imprint on the world.\nI know that many will praying against that day butmany more will be seeing it happen live.

DAvid Beckham is currently playing for Real Madrid. in the spanish league namely laliga . laliga is the top league in spain .contarary to other post from my understanding of media coverage David Beckham is to return to the premier league in england this summer the team he will goto is disputed and will only be answered when he signs a contract. the teams linked with his move are Arsenal football club and chelsea football club . sorry just to add some people know our leuge in england as EPL. chelsea fc have the advantage of having more money to spend but arsenal fc have the advantage of having victoria beckham as a fan (wink). i do know that the beckhams cannot stay in spain too long as they have broken the law there by naming there child cruz who is a boy and cruz in spain is a girls name and you cannot have same sex names in spain . cruz translates to cross. ( i must have too much time on my hands :)  .
