Davis Beckham retires from professional football at the end of the season. Marmite for most.
The best footballing role model ever

Looks like he had the last laugh over Fergie in the end then stealing the limelight just as Fergies last day approaches.

Best football role model ? does that include the affair ?

Great bloke! I like how he gives something back to the game and I think he will continue to.

A lot of people saying one of the greatest players ever.......In terms of ability not for me.

Does anyone from this board follow England around. I know an Albion fan down here that goes to every England game.

I dont get how anyone can not rate Beckham??!! Beggars Belief.

THE best role model for any footballer.

One of my all time favourite players, you dont play for Man Ud, Real Madrid, AC Milan and PSG and get 115 International caps for England if your no good....

Totally gutted to see him finish playing, end of an era but who knows maybe the beginning of another for him.

Best of Luck David....football needs more people like you.

Knighthood too follow and fully justified too for me

He won't get a proper knighthood yet (like Seb Coe or Judy Dench is a Dame) but will get an honorary one at New year's at some point. still means the same to Joe Public and even if he doesn't, he's still an OBE. Maybe he could be eligible for Companionship or an Order of Merit in Culture?

I rate him, he was an excellent player, but I mean he wasn't up there with the best of the best. I think for everything he does he is a great role model and would be happy for him to be knighted.

So how long does this kit last for?

WBASPE77 · « **Reply #185 on:** May 20, 2013, 05:59:33 PM »

The new shirt is shocking looks a lot like Germany's, not been that impressed with the last few really.

Why on earth isn't the trim around the neck red, or the Nike tick red?

'Cause it doesn't have to be? we've worn blue and black plenty of times instead of red.

Why? He's not a bad player.

WBASPE77 · « **Reply #192 on:** May 23, 2013, 12:54:35 PM »

Not seen that much of him, but got a couple of goals the other day, and I would rather have a young player rather than going back to players who have played so many times for England and have still yet to perform on a regular basis.

That's the problem, practically none. Technically Leighton Baines, Wayne Rooney, Tom Cleverley .......................... er .................... that is probably it .............. Frank Lampard, Steven Gerard, Rio Ferdinand but they are yesterdays men.

We will struggle to qualify for Brazil i tell you

WBASPE77 · « **Reply #197 on:** May 23, 2013, 01:17:06 PM »

We have a good squad of players that's all know. Rooney isn't a world class player until he performs in a world cup. I think we will go through to the world cup, but I'm not to confident on us even getting out of the group stages.

Would you say the same about Messi? Would you have said that of George Best? International football isn't as strong as Champions League football.

You could add Gareth Bale to that list plus other Welsh players who have never or may never play in a World Cup.
