Ankit 3,176 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Not many sees Football as the main thing when they idolize players. They give equal amount of weightage to style, the girl the guy gets and all. Makes them over rated footballers for a rational mind.Few great free kicks. Meh. Still overrated. Not to mention the over the top wages for that average amount of quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Frank didn't have to go money hunting to the USA like Beckham did because his ability was still good enough for the PL. Beckham's ability dropped, so off he went over the pond.Lamps still doing it whilst Beckham wraps in, and another year for Frank at the top, top level.What the crap? Shall we have a quick recap? Beckham didn't leave the PL out of freewill, that was a choice Ferguson made (we all remember the flying boot & stitches). Out of respect for United he didn't join another Premier League club.. He instead went to Real Madrid. Real Madrid, the guys who aren't too bad you know. Then we went to the MLS and for the first time people took an interest in the sport and now it's quite the league. Then, he joined AC Milan. Again, they're not too shabby.. Won the Champions League couple of times, challenge for Serie A almost every season etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeboii 1,844 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I have been reading your posts of late around here and I find myself actually thinking you offer nothing to this forum at all.It's quite clear you are here to wind people up, being contentious and generally be the wasp that would not go away.Do us all a favor and log off.Summer is coming, so do the wasps I guess.

dave30 728 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 That goal against Greece was pure footballing magic. Seems like a genuinely humble guy, fair play to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Beckham was a bigger celebrity than he was a footballer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Fair play to him. He gets a lot of stick, but he is a model professional, and one of the greatest ambassadors of the game. He left the Premier league too early to really be considered a great in football terms. But for everything he has done of the pitch etc, he deserves a hell of a lot of credit.

Melanicus 5,208 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 He will play his last game in this pair of shoes.He surely loves Britain, shame he wasn't playing for thme on Olympics last year. Legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I don't understand one thing, why was he chosen to become this megastar? What was so special about him? There is no footballer name more famous than his. Everybody knows brand Beckham, I even have his deodorant in my closet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody knows brand Beckham, I even have his deodorant in my closet.I think I read he was still the number 1 footballer in terms of salary this season.....Anyways, here are the reasons.1. Looks2. Galacticos3. Posh/Spice Girls4. England Number 7 and Captain5. Affiliation with UNICEF and other charities... 6. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Haha. Some of you mix up his media personality and his actual footballing career. He has such a big personality and franchise and the exposure he gets from it people just latch onto the 'overrated' tag. He is more famous for being handsome and married to Posh Spice then being a footballer.Was he a great player? Yes at least as good as Giggsy maybe not as dynamic or flashy as him but easily as talented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Retired this year:Roberto CarlosCant's believe this flew under my radar when even bloody Carra is getting media time. Probably my 2nd favourite childhood player after Romario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
