He played in three FIFA World Cup events (1998, 2002, and 2006) and two UEFA European Championship tournaments (1900 and 2004).

Beckham has been described as one of the finest and most recognisable midfielders of his generation, as well as one of the best set-piece specialists of all time, for his range of passing, crossing skills, and bending free-kicks as a right winger.

David Beckham’s Early Life

Beckham was born in Leytonstone, London, England, at Whipps Cross University Hospital. He is the son of hairdresser Sandra Georgina (née West; 1949) and kitchen fitter David Edward Alan “Ted” Beckham (born Edmonton, London, 1948), who married in the London Borough of Hackney in 1969. Lynne Georgina, his older sister, and Joanne Louise, his younger sister, are his siblings. In Ridgeway Park, Chingford, he attended Chingford County High School. “At school whenever the teachers asked, ‘What do you want to do when you’re older?'” Beckham stated in a 2007 interview. ‘I want to be a footballer,’ I’d say. ‘No, what do you actually want to do for a job?’ they’d remark.

But it was the only thing I had ever desired.” Beckham’s maternal grandfather was Jewish, and he has described himself as “half Jewish” in his autobiography, writing, “I’ve probably had more interaction with Judaism than any other faith.” Beckham says in his book Both Feet on the Ground that he attended church every week with his parents as a child since it was the only way he could play football for their team. His parents were die-hard Manchester United fans who traveled 200 miles (320 kilometers) from London to Old Trafford to watch the team play. David inherited his parents’ passion for Manchester United, and football was his major sport. He attended one of Bobby Charlton’s Manchester Soccer Schools and gained a chance to train with Barcelona as part of a talent competition. He was a member of the Ridgeway Rovers, a local youth team coached by his father, Stuart Underwood, and Steve Kirby. In 1986, Beckham served as a mascot for Manchester United in a match against West Ham United.

Beckham had trials with Leyton Orient, Norwich City, and Tottenham Hotspur’s school of excellence as a young man, though he never played for the club. Beckham was voted Under-15 Player of the Year in 1990 after playing for Brimsdown Rovers’ youth club for two years. He also attended Bradenton Preparatory Academy, but on his 14th birthday, he signed schoolboy forms with Manchester United and later signed a Youth Training Scheme contract on July 8, 1991. Beckham was a late bloomer who was passed over for the England Schoolboys team due to his diminutive stature.

David Beckham’s Personal Life

After seeing a Manchester United match in 1997, Beckham began dating Victoria Adams. She was known as “Posh Spice” of the Spice Girls, one of the world’s most popular pop groups at the time, and his squad was also having a successful run. As a result, their connection drew a lot of media attention right away. The media used the phrase “Posh and Becks” to describe the couple. On the 24th of January 1998, he proposed to her in a restaurant in Cheshunt, England. After fourteen months, their first kid was born.

They married on July 4, 1999, at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland. The best man was Beckham’s teammate Gary Neville, and the ring bearer was the couple’s four-month-old son, Brooklyn. Because the Beckhams had an exclusive arrangement with OK! Magazine, the media were barred from the event, but tabloids were able to obtain images of them sitting on golden thrones. The wedding reception, which was projected to cost £500,000, hired 437 people.

Brooklyn Joseph (born 4 March 1999 at Portland Hospital, London), Romeo James (born 1 September 2002 at Portland Hospital, London), Cruz David (born 20 February 2005 at Ruber International Hospital, Madrid), and Harper Seven (born 20 February 2005 at Ruber International Hospital, Madrid) are David and Victoria Beckham’s four children (born 10 July 2011 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles). Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham have Elton John as their godfather and Elizabeth Hurley as their godmother. Beckham’s three sons have all been Arsenal Academy players. Brooklyn and Romeo, like their father, have done modeling and have been recognized among GQ’s best-dressed British men. Brooklyn was previously with Arsenal U16 but was released at the end of the 2014–15 season.
