He is one of the most celebrated English players, and he has so far represented the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, and AC Milan. He is also the current holder of the record number of appearances, which currently stands at 115, for the England national team. David Beckham began his career at Manchester United by joining their youth ranks at the age of 14.

However, Tottenham was first club that David Beckham has played for as a youth player. Since joining Manchester United in 1991, David Beckham never looked back and soon made his professional debut for the Manchester club. His debut came in 1992 when he was just 17 years old. He went on to lift various trophies with Manchester United including the Champions League trophy 1999. He also oversaw the most successful era in Manchester United’s history, which included lifting a famous treble in 1999.

Manchester United won the Premier League, FA Cup, and the UEFA Champions League in one season and David Beckham played a major role in that. During this Manchester United career, David Beckham won an impressive six Premier League titles, two FA Cup titles, one Intercontinental Cup, one FA Community Shield, and one UEFA Champions League title.

Despite winning all these titles, David Beckham fell out of favour with manager Sir Alex Ferguson during the 2003 season.
It ultimately led him to exit Manchester United, but found no shortage of takers. Eventually, David Beckham transferred to Real Madrid in 2003 for a fee thought to be in the range of £25 million. David Beckham brought a new dimension to the marketing strategy at Real Madrid, as he helped the club achieve the dreams of dominating the world in terms of revenues generated. David Beckham was also the part of the famous Galaticos era at Real Madrid. He played alongside some of the greatest players in the world like Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Luis Figo, and Roberto Carlos.

Despite the presence of a number of stars including David Beckham, the Real Madrid side largely underachieved. As a result, David Beckham lifted only the La Liga title with Real Madrid in 2007. Incidentally, it was also his last year at Real Madrid as it was announced that he would be leaving the club the following the end of the season. David Beckham then signed a contract with Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy, which was reported to be worth around $250 million. He had signed a five-year contract with the United States team, and is continuing to play there.

Internationally, David Beckham has experienced a lot of personal success, although team success has mostly eluded him.

Of the 17 goals, he will probably be best remembered for the free kick against Greece in the final few minutes that took England to the European Championships.
