ChippenhamRed Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 7 hours ago, Super said: certainly the best crosser of a ball I have seen. Absolutely. I remember United’s Champions League campaign in 1999. He set up so many goals from undefendable crosses from the right. Both in the quarter-final against Inter I recall.

Sparkz 76 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 He was world class. He carried England for 10 years let’s see Man U / Real Madrid/ LA galaxy / AC Milan and PSG he must be very Limited :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckham at his peak would definitely have been in the squad. A good player to be able to bring on and steady the ship in a tight quarter final against Mars. Wouldn't get into Man U's greatest eleven let alone England's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly throughout the mid to late Noughties, he was part of the 'golden generation' who achieved nothing. I always thought he was a good player, but there's no denying that his pop-star image and media profile helped his career, in the same way that Rooney's PR machine helped his. And it's still going on now. The way the Beckhams are treated like royalty is a bit tiresome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcshorey Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Beckham getting an MLS franchise is just like the other Class of '92 players and there investments in Hotel/Cafe Football, Salford City and recently a new University. It's all a part investment, part being bored and wanting to do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider-manc Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Just watched la liga icons: david beckham on sky sports. Anyone who suggests he wasn't world class should give it a watch. The control and passing ability he had was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
