Football in England is not just a sport. For many it is closer to a religion where supporters of their clubs are fanatically bonded to the players on the pitch. They follow the players every move, both on and off the field, and younger players will try to emulate their football idols, when they play. One of the greatest English born players was a man of exceptional skills who was one of the greatest free kick takers, who could make the ball bend around opposing players, past the goalkeeper, and end up in the back of the net for a goal. That player is David Beckham.

Born in London, England on May 2, 1975, David Beckham grew up like most youngsters in the country, a fan of football. At an early age his aspiration was to be a footballer. While other children said they wanted to be doctors or other professionals, Beckham wanted to play football. And, since the family were big fans of Manchester United, young David was also a fan who dreamed of playing for the club. That dream came true when she signed on as a youth player with United in 1991. From that point, the rest is history.
