David Beckham: FREE Stuff and Fun FAQs!!

One of sport’s greatest stars. A fashion icon whose looks are mimicked
all over the world. A brand worth hundreds of millions of dollars. A
mega-star unlike any before.

David Robert Joseph Beckham was born on the second of May, 1975. His parents, David and Sandra, raised the future superstar in Leytonstone town, to the northeast of London. David the younger’s soccer (football) prowess was evident from an extremely early age, and at the age of eight he joined the Ridgeway Rovers club. David went on to score more than 100 goals in his three years on the junior team, an extraordinary feat. At the age of 11, David won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills Tournament, a nationwide talent and skill competition. Not too shabby considering young David won by the highest score in the tournament’s history, and he won it in the Old Trafford, the home stadium of David’s (and his family’s) beloved Manchester United team. David won a two week training trip to Barcelona Spain where he trained at the FC Barcelona complex, years later David would be a star  for FC Barca's greatest rivals Real Madrid, after ruling the roost at Manchester United.

 

David Beckham’s career first took off when, after first being noticed
for winning the Bobby Charlton competition, David’s devotion to Manchester United (he attended every home game) was rewarded when he was made the team mascot. Imagine the future international sex symbol all dolled up a fuzzy Red Devils costume.

David worked out with the team every summer from then on, and finally in July 1991, at the age of 16, David was signed on as a trainee of the club. From that point on it was a steady stream of successes (including a 1992 Junior League tournament championship) that David Beckham rode to become a major star on the Manchester United team.
