David Beckham is set to retire from professional football, ending a glorious career that spanned 20 years and four countries,wearing 115 international caps and becoming the second most capped player in England’s history.
one of the most iconic sportsman of modern-time, Beckham has amassed an estimated wealth of over $250 million through lucrative endorsement deals with the likes of Adidas Adidas, H&M and Samsung, earning him the 8th spot on Forbes’ list of The World’s Highest Paid Athletes.38 year old, retired at the end of this season after helping Paris Saint-Germain F.C. to win the French league title.
Beckham confirmed his retirement by stating: “I’m thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level.”
He believed he could carry on playing for more than one-year contract extension offered by his club Paris St. Germain.But his sons were begging him to collect them from school in London and Victoria wanted her Goldenballs back.so he decided to hang up his boots.
It is expected that Beckham will relocate to join his family in London, however, there is still no word as to what the future holds for the soon-to-be former footballer.Everything he has said about wanting to leave at the top is true and it worked out very nicely, winning the French title.
Beckham made an impact with his skills,both as player and as a person. In 1999, he led Manchester United to the Premier League title, the FA Cup championship, and the Champions League title. Thanks to a last-minute free kick against Greece in 2001, England qualified for the 2002 World Cup. That same year, Beckham signed a three-year $22 million contract to remain with Manchester United.
But Beckham's time with United proved to be shorter. In 2003, he was acquired by Real Madrid in a deal that brought to light Beckham's growing rift with Manchester's manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.
Meanwhile,the movie, "Bend it Like Beckham", a delightful movie that tells the story of a young girl who bucks her family's traditional ways, and falls in love with English soccer was released.
Becks has played a key role in helping to bring the Olympics to London, and it is believed he wants to retire to spend more time with his family and on his ambassadorial role with charity Unicef.The twice runner up for FIFA World Player of the Year also won titles with MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy and played for Italian giants AC Milan.
He played his last game yesterday where PSG players,staff and fans given him farewell.It was an emotional moment for soccer fans,PSG players and Becks.
