Genie Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I’m a big Beckham fan. A unique footballer. Of course the big money and brights were a bit of a distraction at times but a one of a kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted October 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2023 She must be good at something - but I dont understand how you can spend your time with someone like Posh? Not that l like Becks as a person either, but still, he can choose who he wants very easily im sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Always come across as a top bloke to be fair. The amount of headline coverage he, personally, had was absolutely ridiculous. And yet... what, one affair briefly possibly maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 there's 2 problems with Beckham man utd scoring an overrated goal - he's actually scored far better ones too, I personally don't like long range goals as they're largely reliant on the keeper having a shit starting position but other than that yeah he's a decent bloke, almost underrated because of what he was off the field, got to be something somewhere keeping him from being knighted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Can't remember who said it but they said Beckham was the best player ever who had average pace and fitness, couldn't head a ball, struggled to beat a man and had no left foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted October 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2023 Keep telling myself that I’ll one day rewatch England v Greece to see how my memory of his performance that day compares to the reality. My memory is that he was everywhere and it was one of the best one man performances I’ve ever seen. Or at the very least, one of most determined performances I’d seen. Maybe there’s some reluctance to rewatch because it probably doesn’t quite stand up to my memory. And I don’t want to have to change my go to example of “that’s a game where one player carried an entire team”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I'm surprised he doesn't have one, he had an excellent playing career and since then has contributed heavily to stuff like London 2012's bid. Compared to people like Cook and Strauss getting them in cricket I think he is a bit unlucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I thought he was an overrated player. He had a great cross and could take free kicks but I wouldn't rate him as highly as our former manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if Paul Lambert was English or won his champions league with an English team he would have been more highly regarded. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted October 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2023 I always thought Beckham was quite a simple, not that clever, humble bloke who was thrust into the limelight because he was good at football and played for the best team in the country at the time. He then got with a Spice Girl which rocketed his public appeal. Having watched the 1st episode of the documentary it's obvious he was quite a bit more calculating than that. He comes across as quite smarmy and he understood all of the circus that was going on around him. It seems he wanted it and enjoyed it - I suppose he's loaded now and I'm sure everyone is very nice to him all the time. I just didn't realize that's what he was really like.

Is a reason Scholes was still playing at top level for 10 more years while Beckham was an act in USA. Ferguson seen it and he was a flop at Real though the media tried spin he won them a league in 2007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
