Why is he worshipped and idolised as some sort of hero and legend?
shagged a spice girl

only by poncey southerners
sexy
Because he is a hero and a legend.
Is he? His name doesn't usually come up when talking about great 90-00s midfielders. He was good though and clutched the fuck out of that Camp Nou CL final.
>a Brit asking this
what rock have you been under lad
I'm a JF and even I know
>>67194462
>His name doesn't usually come up when talking about great 90-00s midfielders.
He's definitely in the conversation.
Literally who
>>67194465
So what is it then? It isn't sporting achievement, it appears to be nothing other than a carefully orchestrated publicity campaign over the years that has convinced the people he's actually something he isn't.
because he's a hero and a legend
also qt
>>67194422
there has never been a better model sportsman come out of this country than David Beckham
>>67194462
>His name doesn't usually come up when talking about great 90-00s midfielders.
It does. Tbf, he was, when at Man Utd a very good midfielder for most of the time.
>>67194462

>Nice guy
Think that's it desu
>>67194474
>>67194495
I agree that he was up there, but even when it comes to just English midfielders it's usually Gerrard/Lampard/Scholes I see people talk about
>>67194493
>there has never been a better model sportsman come out of this country than David Beckham
Really? Steve Redgrave, Chris Hoy, Jess Ennis, Bobby Charlton, Seb Coe (recent shit aside), Bradley Wiggins.
He knew how to market the fuck out of himself
>>67194512
But none of those things make him a legend. He was a complete flop for England (Greece FK aside).
>>67194535
He, or his management?
I will admit he's played a blinder when it comes to the art of self-promotion.
dat guy becks
>>67194558
That's why he is one of the most famous players we've had in the last generation. The fact that half his playing career has been abroad showed how well he did to stay in the public eye
He's a lot like Ronaldinho - huge name and had some flashes of incredible skill but overall was a disappointment yet is still considered to be an all-time great by the uninformed public.
FUCKING D R O P P E D
him, his wife and his whole team used the media to almost perfection
you still see it now with staged paparazzi shoots popping up in the scumbag papers the s*n and the dailymail every week
>>67194623
Probably the shittest post I have ever seen in /sp/.
you now remember
@67194623
>>67194684
>>67194422
Great player, good-looking, married another celebrity, knew how to market himself
>>67194696
>shit i pulled the wrong card
>better play it cool lol
>"yeah uhh sorry you're off"
>>67194643
ffs
not becks ;_;
>>67194955
Why does this surprise you, he's a sneaky greedy bastard.
>>67195013
>Why does this surprise you
Maybe because his last name is tereifa as fuck?
>>67194544
The entire england team is a giant flop when it comes down to club or country.
Though i would argue beckham did always put a shift in.
>>67194955
your mum's dad nbeing a jew does not make you a jew numbnuts
>>67195049
>Though i would argue beckham did always put a shift in.
Except he didn't. Pretty much everything after 2002 he did was lazy and pointless and his career post-WC2006 was simply about caps and overtaking Charlton's outfield record
>>67195065
Actually, it does.
first player who realized his image is more profitable than his football
>>67195090
actually it doesn't, according to jewish law jewishness is passed down through mothers not fathers, therefore his mother wasnt a jew, therefore nether is becks
>>67194532
Foreigner here, literally who? Apart from Charlton I don't know any of these guys.
>>67195112
Both his maternal grandparents are Jews.
>>67195090
The problem your having is that you suffer from the "England is a world class team" meme. Beckham is legendary for England because they are and have been for half a century mediocre.
>one (1) point
>>67195127
>Foreigner here
opinion discarded
>>67195139
No, because I don't think England are a world class team.
Nice strawmanning though, fat lad. You can fuck off back to your ape collide thread now.
>>67195160
Nice argument you got there, you toothless, inbred, Muslim dick sucking, island nigger.
>>67195127
Go back to Pakistan.
>>67195174
Calm down, Ty'Rone. You were wrong, now it's time for you to leave.
>>67195139
>your
This single moment cemented him as a legend
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGuccP0SlnE
I don't think i've ever lost my shit as hard as i did when Becks scored that free kick
>>67194532
who, who, who, who, who, who?
>his biggest achievement with his national team is a free kick goal against GREECE in a world cup QUALIFIER
>>67195236
That's what his most remembered for
He is also the last person to score a winning goal in a knock-out game for England
>>67195220
It's pretty sad that this is considered such a "legendary" moment in English football. When you look at the context it's fucking embarrassing really.
>>67195145
Just saying Beckham is more famous outside of England than all these other people.
>>67195175
Fuck off I'm a white Frenchman and yeah I'm living in England, get mad faggot.
He wasn't that great really. Sending social media nuts, he could do that.
>>67195281
Yes, for reasons that are more related to being a money-grabbing media whore.
That Beckham is England/Britain's most well known sportsperson is depressing.
2x runner-up for the ballon d'or m8. He was elite.
>>67195281
Don't give a fuck where you're from or what colour you are, piss off JF cunt.
>>67195336
lol u seem upset
>>67195281
>white Frenchman
>france is so arab he has to say his ethnicity
>>67195359
>So many pakis anon immediately assumed I was from pakistan
Like it or not, we're in the same boat faggot.
because he has a really attractive face and married one of uk's biggest pop starts at that time
no one would give a fuck about him if he was ugly

and lets not forget about his 6 teen choice awards, they don't just hand those bad-boys out
>>67195439
Ligue 1 (1): 2012–13
For making 10 appearances?? How many of them were starts?
>>67195463
not many, he only played 232 minutes
it is psg though so the win was guaranteed anyway
>>67195503
*since joining in January, so not too bad
>England """ Legend"""
>The "highlight" of his career is a fk goal against bloody Greece (in the qualifiers of all things)
You can't fabricate such a tale
>>67195576
Come on, lad. Don't rub it in. ;_;
>>67195516
It's a joke though. Plays a less than three whole matches and gets a winners medal??
>>67195236
You couldn't even beat Finland back then.
>>67194422
>Why is he worshipped and idolised as some sort of hero and legend?
10/10 facial aesthetics.
It's really that simple.
>>67194450
>>67194474
>>67194643
theyre fucking everywhere
>>67197670
8/10 at best
>>67196893
>implying anyone cares about qualifiers
>>67194643
Fuck sake he has a mutilated willy
>>67197881
True. We did though ;_;
>>67197881
h-haha.. i know r-right!
>>67194422
That better be pregame hair... If his hair looks like that shit even 5 min into a game, I'm jelly.
Are Brits bum blasted that this guy has basically become an American post footy career.
