I will give you a short presentation on David Beckham, one of the most famous football
players in the world. He's extremely well-known, and I believe that everyone around the world
could recognize him if they saw him on TV or in a newspaper.
First of all, in the 1990s, Beckham used to be a very successful athlete. He used to play for
Manchester United, and he won the Premier League 6 times with this club. They even won the
European Champions League, which is the most prestigious club competition in the world.
Everyone praised his ability to kick the ball, and deliver amazing passes. Goalkeepers always
feared his free kicks, and a movie entitled Bend it like Beckham was even made. He was a role
model for many young people.
Beckham got married to a former band member of the famous Spice Girls. His wife's name is
Victoria and she is an attractive bimbo who somehow managed to bring Beckham to another level
of fame. The two of them are the constant center of attention of the press. Paparazzi follow them
on a daily basis, and I believe that there is not a day without an article published about Beck and
his sweetheart. They seem happy. You know, so many celebrities divorce, but they've been
together for a long time.
I think that his wife played a major role in his career. Actually, nowadays, although Beckham
still plays for AC Milan, which is one of the strongest teams in Europe, I think that he has become
more notorious for his life outside football rather than on the pitch (= the field). David is a
good-looking man, and he learned how to make full use of his name and appearance. Beckham
advertises for many famous brands. He models; he acts; he publishes books too. He's a real
businessman.
When he played for Real Madrid, his name brought millions to the club because fans from all
over the world bought jerseys with his name printed on the back. I think he still has a couple of
years in him before he puts an end to his football career, but I am positive that he will keep busy in
Hollywood and on TV sets for a long time after he retires.
