Biography of David Beckham | Britancio footballe
It was one of the figures of team Galactic, Real Madrid, and without doubt the most attractive footballer and media of the world.
Britancio footballer
David Robert Joseph Beckham was born May 2, 1975, in the London suburb
of Leytonstone, where, in 1969, moved from Hoxton parents, the employee
of the company's gas and frustrated footballer David Edward Ted Beckham
and the hairdresser Sandra West, which, in addition, would have two
daughters, Lynne (1972) and Joanne (1982).
Passion for football
Since David
started to walk, his father transmitted him his two passions: football
and Manchester United, who at the time was a rather mediocre team, maybe
not winning a League since 1975. The eight year
old David began to play on the team at the district, the Ridgeway
Rovers, which scored more than 100 goals in three seasons.
At age eleven, his life
took a u-turn after winning, at Old Trafford, the famous contest of
soccer skills organized by the legendary sir Bobby Charlton. He
not only won the trophy, whose prize was to participate for two weeks
in training with the promises of the farmhouse of the F. C. Barcelona,
but that he broke the record of points of the contest. That
day, he and his father are conjured - if not the Barca - remained it is
to return to the legendary grass of Manchester United.
David Beckham
That euphoria vanished
suddenly when Beckham arrived not in the F. C. Barcelona («someday will
return to Barca,» shouted angrily at his farewell from the city of
Barcelona), and after being rejected in tests carried out by two capital
teams of more popularity than of his neighborhood: Tottenham Hotspur
and, what is more surprising, the modest Leyton Orient.
Although disappointed,
David would not give up and played in Leytonstone, at the time that
perfected his technique in the Essex School, not knowing that after the
competition, the Scouts of Manchester United following his footsteps by
order of the own coach, Alex Ferguson, who on July 1, 1991 he signed it
personally for the lower categories.
In Manchester not stayed in the facilities of the club, but in foster homes. The
first two experiences were disastrous, until it ended up in the home of
the SIRS Kay, Annie and Tommy, who lived more than two years and to
those who they considered as second parents.
When he was
accommodated, their dreams started to become reality in 1992, year in
which together with Beckham emerged the best batch of the history of
Manchester, with names like Micky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and the
Neville brothers, in a youth team that not only won, but he printed a
new style of play anchored British football.
They were young
men of sixteen and seventeen years that Ferguson was from Harrow, until
they won the Youth Cup against Crystal Palace, at the end of 1992. Then
began to take shape in his mind the legend of the Fergie babes (in a
clear parallel with the legendary Busby babes led by Charlton that
conquered Europe in the 1950s), which, headed by Frenchman Eric Cantona
and by a very young Giggs, who had already made the leap to the first
team, would gain a new title of the Manchester League in the 1992-1993
season.
Beckham made his debut with the first team on September 23, 1992 in a match against the Brighton Cup. From that day he trained with the elderly, but not playing in the League because Manchester worked perfectly. He
had to wait until the 1994-1995 season, in which scoring his first goal
on December 7, 1994, in his debut in the Champions League against
Galatasaray, when it had not yet debuted in the Premier League. David, who had signed his first professional contract, since the 23 January 1993 impatient. Moreover,
when Ferguson asked him if, for the 1994-1995 season, he would accept
an assignment to the modest Preston, of the third Division, with which
he played five matches and scored two goals.
An Idol for Manchester United
In the meridian of the
League midfield Manchester was depleted by injuries and Ferguson finally
resorted to Beckham, who made his debut in the Premier League on 2
April 1995, against Leeds United. That season the Manchester was runner-up and Beckham played only four matches.
In 1995 - 1996 was already
clinched in the first team, which played thirty-three games and scored
seven goals, showing since it was the better centering of the world and
one of the players greater technique treasured at the launch of faults. These
qualities did not pass unnoticed, and on September 1, 1996 he made his
debut with the team, which has played more than fifty meetings and which
is Captain since 1999. Continued playing at
Manchester, which soon became the undisputed leader, with an average of
thirty-three matches per season and an average of eight goals, most of
them by master releases lack.
His record includes six
league titles, a Champions League and an Intercontinental Cup (1999) and
two glasses of England (1996 and 1997), apart from other minor
trophies. Personally holds many awards, although
he has never been able to win the Golden Ball: Player of the month of
the League and young player of the year (1996), new young player of the
year and Sir Matt Busby (1997), European midfielder of the year and
silver ball European behind Rivaldo (1999), best British sportsman of
the year and new silver ball behind Figo (2001) and bronze ball after
Ronaldo and Zidane (2002). On the other hand, in November 2003, he was appointed Knight of the order of the British Empire.
An explosive marriage
Their
wedding, in 1997, with the former Spice Girl Victoria Adams multiplied
the attractiveness of the footballer for commercial firms and the media.
Everything he touches becomes dollars, which is the currency with which charges. During his long years in Manchester, between tab and atypical revenue won an average of 15 million euros per year. Dare everything, even has come to sing in one of the albums of his wife, in the song Out of your mind.
Victoria Adams in his arrival in Madrid
The singer seemed to have cornered his career largely to become owner and Lady of the projection of her husband and Beckingham Palace,
as it is called the Beckham mansion and where, until David signed for
Real Madrid, often held parties in his image and likeness, with the
presence of stalwarts such as Elton John and Joan Collins.
With Victoria has two sons:
Brooklyn (5 March 1999), so called because it was conceived in this
famous New York neighborhood, and Romeo (September 1, 2002), in homage
to Shakespeare.
The fame of the couple has however a price: in 2000 tried to hijack his firstborn. Therefore it has due surrounding extreme security measures. Apart from this, the Spice Boy or Becky,
two of their nicknames that have made greater fortune, has received
other threats, even death, as when in the 1998 World Cup was expelled
for a trifle, and England fell eliminated by Argentina.
Beckham is all business,
why he signed it surely, in June 2003, Florentino Perez, who already had
Figo, removing in addition to the new President of the f. C. Barcelona,
Joan Laporta, who had promised his move to FC fans during his election
campaign for the post. Real Madrid, who acquired it by 35 million euros and a 6.5 million annual tab, you must give 50% of their contracts of image.
The arrival of Beckham in Madrid was quite an event. He arrived in Torrejón de Ardoz in private aircraft and mobilized thousands of fans who wanted to approach their new Idol. A smell of crowds that few was then repeated during the Asian tour of the white team.
Beckham is a neat and maniacal man. He
is obsessed with order, and in his house dresses so that colors the
tune with the color of the room in question and the furniture. It carries the names of his wife and children tattooed and continually changing look. And it has even dared with sarongs, Tiaras and diamonds, something that seemed reserved for women.
You are passionate
about cars, especially the Ferrari and the Bentley, and is a consummate
practitioner of the golf and lover of cinema; in fact is the idol of the protagonist in the film I want to be like Beckham, the story of a young man of Indian origin that happens a thousand difficulties to fulfill his football dreams.
