    Becks was one of the most gifted and hardest working players I think I've ever seen. His dedication was second to no one. He didn't have the dribbling skills of Pele or Maradona, but they didn't have the consistently mesmerising passing skills either, and Beckhams ability to nullify the opposition was just as legendary as any else. Fame didn't affect his work rate like many others before or after. Becks also massively succeeded in every country he played in, which is very rare too. Was he the best ever? Hell no! Was he one of the best of all time? In my opinion, he must be included in that illustrious group of players. He was rare and ridiculously underappreciated.

    Beckham was incredible in his prime. People forget, you can take all the free kicks out of his career and he was still a world class midfielder. He could pass, had vision, had a great touch, had a little bit of dribbling skill, a high work rate, a surprising defensive presence and could pop up with goals at important moments. He was excellent. He just wasn’t equal to his star power which was gigantic. There was a time when he was the biggest superstar world football had ever seen and he was not the best player in the world during that period, he was just one of the many world class players in a very strong era. But you marry a spicegirl and look like the lead in a boyband, people want you on their screens.

    Football fans tend to have short memories, and sadly these days Becks tends to get overlooked largely because of the level of fame he achieved. People often say he was a "one trick pony", who was only good at crossing and free kicks (and even if that were true, *what* a 'trick' it was!), but his game wasn't just about that. Yes, his free kicks and crossing ability was second to none, but the guy had some serious skill elsewhere too!. He had great ball control and a fantastic first touch, his work rate was off the charts, he was adaptable (switching from a pacey winger to a more central position later in his career as his pace dropped off) and his vision was possibly the best the game has ever witnessed! His ability to drop a ball at someone's feet from 60 yards away was absolutely outrageous! He could cut defences open with ease. Me and my friends used to refer to his crossing as "Hollywood Balls", because they were the sort of ridiculous pass you'd only ever see in an unrealistic Hollywood movie! Yet he was doing them in real life, game after game after game!! He was also incredibly dependable too. Becks ALWAYS stepped up in the biggest of games when his team needed him the most. He is, without doubt, one of the best players England has ever produced. I doubt we'll ever see someone like him again.

    Beckham never had the pace to be an out and out winger like Giggs. He could never dribble past players. An over rated player at international level due to the media building him up. Wanted to take all the free kicks and penalties to appease his sponsors. His England goal tally of 17 should be higher.

    @@williamcarter361 No, he never had a lot of pace and didn't go on mazy dribbles, but he didn't need to. He wasn't that type of player. Becks had the ability to play a 60 yard lofted pass from deep within his own half and drop the ball at a strikers feet in the final 3rd. When he could do that, why did he even need to dribble past anyone? One pass could bypass the oppositions entire defence AND midfield. Yeah he probably could have scored more for England, but again, that's not what really what he was about. It's better to look at his overall contribution. He got 42 assists for England, which is a fairer gauge for the type of player he was and the role he played from midfield, and coupled with his 17 goals means he was directly responsible for 59 goals in 115 games, which is slightly better than 1 goal contribution every 2 games. That's pretty impressive!

    At his best David was inspiration and miraculous. I watched him many times look up, see Giggs running down the line and pass the ball to him across more than half the pitch and land it at Ryan's toes. A single pass like that can lift a game and, more importantly, lift a team. To be fair he's lost the plot in recent times but that has more to do with his idiotic pursuit of a knighthood than anything else.

    Beckham didn't decline since 2004. He simply changed positions from SMF to CMF or DMF and these are positions where it's easier to get cards. It must also be said that Real Madrid played with Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo and Raul and Beckham was one of the few who defended and often had to close on the position errors of others. 13:05 "a lot of red cards" (?). 6 red cards in 517 league appearances aren't many cards for a midfielder. Clearly, clearly the best right foot ever in kicking the ball. Whoever criticizes Beckham as a footballer, I don't think has a clue what football is.

    Becks was a terrific player and I loved him. He wasn't fast, he didn't have magical touch/ball skills and he wasn't box-to-box, but as an intelligent, direct and instinctive attacking midfielder he was absolutely deadly. Everyone knows how good his crossing was, and how a free-kick for him was virtually a penalty kick. But his goals from open play were absolutely sensational too. He has a highlight reel a mile long. United (and England) legend.

Like I said, his highlights reel is exceptional and he had many great moments, but his all-round game was proficient rather than brilliant. He was always steady though - I think the eye-bleaching was probably an over-reaction.

    Do you also have his posters in your bedroom wall. Guy was a one dimensional player. Once his speed had gone (wasnt fast anyways) he struggled to put those hit and hope crosses in that ManureUrine Marinated were famed for. All 'United' ever did was kick, foul (thanks to those sheep refs) and put countless crosses in from Irwin, Giggs, neville, beckham. I bet you are not even a Gunners fan, deeply besotted by Beckham. ...'presence wise' is a fantasy but questionable statement by you. He had one decent season for R.Madrid and was gone by time he joined milan and you reckon he was world class. Statement is coming from a closeted manure/becks/penaldo fan I bet. 'Play-wise and.....🤣 presence-wise. His only presence was once he lost his crosses and freekicks were hack players down for R.Madrid that's what hes famed for cos he an ex dirty ManureUrine Marinated scumbag.
