David Beckham Biography – Early Career
Born in East London, Beckham was raised in a family of Manchester United supporters, with both his parents traveling to Old Trafford from London to see the team's matches, often taking young David with them. Getting the taste of soccer, David started playing for the Ridgeway Rovers, a youth team coached by his father and Steve Kirby.
Although taking part at several trials at the Manchester United youth facilities, he had some tries at his local club, Leyton Orient and Tottenham Hotspur, however he would come back to the Manchester United youth in 1991.

After playing there for 1 year and winning the FA Youth Cup with the team, David Beckham was given the chance to play for Manchester's first squad, in a League Cup game against Brighton and Hove Albion, which would be his first appearance as a professional soccer player.
David Beckham Biography – Manchester United - When he was just 19 years of age, Beckham was still not a first team regular for Manchester, so in the 1994/95 season he was loaned to Preston North End, where he would get some useful match experience before returning to United the next season.

Constantly rising in form and playing better and better for Manchester helped David Beckham reach the England squad for the 1998 World Cup, however this would be one of the toughest moments in Beckham's career.
In the Last 16 round, England would play Argentina, with Beckham starting out in the first line-up. After a hard tackle from Argentinean Simeone, Beckham lost control and struck him in the calf, being sent off and attracting the anger of the entire English fan base as well as the media, the Daily Mirror even printing out a dartboard on the first page, with the face of David Beckham around the bullseye.
His strength of character was proven when he got over this moment and just one year later, he managed to pull off a fabulous season, winning the Champions League-Cup-League "treble" with Manchester. Beckham was already a superstar and by the end of his 9th year at Manchester, in 2003, he would be involved in a shocking transfer to Real Madrid.
David Beckham Biography – Real Madrid - With 4 seasons under his belt at Real, Beckham did not have the same performance as he did at Manchester, but being in the star-studded team of the Madrid side meant he was much more publicized and became the most famous and well-paid soccer player in the world for several years.
Reaching the end of his career, David Beckham now playing for the Los Angeles galaxy with a contract worth $250 million over 5 years.
