David Robert Joseph Beckham was born on the 2 May 1975 and is 33; he was born in Leytonstone, London, England. He is arguably one of the best football players of all times and his normal playing position is right midfield. In 2004 David was the highest paid footballer AND he was Google's most searched of all sports topics in 2003 and 2004. Beckham’s career began when he signed a professional contract with Manchester United, making his first team debut in 1994 aged 17. During his time in the team, Manchester United won the Premier League title six times, the FA cup twice and the UEFA Champions League once in 1999. He then left Manchester United and joined Rael Madrid in 2003 where he stayed for four seasons. While at Madrid, Beckham became the first British footballer to play 100 Champion League matches. In January 2007 it was announced that Beckham would leave Rael Madrid and sign a five year contract with Los Angeles Galaxy. He currently plays for and is captain of Los Angeles Galaxy. He is also a member of the England national team. Beckham also earned his 100th cap for England against France in March 2008!
