He was well fit I reckon - even a heteros*xual man like me can admit that.

Love Beckham.

How he's stayed married to that thing when he could have had the pick of of the worlds female population, is insane.

This.

Like going to The World's Best Buffet and filling your plate with Iceland own brand turkey twizzlers.

I am sure he has been no angel, let's be honest....

Rebecca Loos was probably one of many.

Never mind Becks not being the best midfielder at United (yes for me Scholes has the edge, just) but he didn't even marry the best looking Spice Girl.

Horrific take, she was easily the best spice girl at that time...

Beckham's game for England v Greece in 2001 is probably the most single handed effort i can remember of any one player, he literally won the game for England despite his team mates. there was a touch of the Robson about him - the way he drove the team forward. Astonishing performance.

One of the few comparable instances I can recall is Keane for us at Juventus 21 years ago.

Agree with all that, except the game was a draw.

Wasn’t it felt at the time he tried harder for England than United?

I think it’s more he had to turn into a complete workhorse for England as it seemed he was the one player putting in effort for them back then. Unbelievable really, that team on paper had a real chance at winning things, and yet they never got close.

There was an Ireland game that I ended up watching back in the day pretty much by chance, this one against Holland I think, where Keane was just incredible, not just in the usual way he was, he did absolutely everything, his passing and drive was amazing.

Obviously at United he was part of an amazing midfield, without knowing the rest of the team Ireland had out that game, it probably wasn't quite Beckham, Scholes, Keane & Giggs, so he seemed to take on the responsibility himself.
