SENSE OF HUMOUR Beckham has shown a good sense of humor in public appearances and interviews.

RELATIONSHIPS Off the pitch, things were just as eventful. In 1996, while on a trip with the England squad, he saw a Spice Girl music video and, well, fell head over heels for a woman in a PVC catsuit (Victoria Beckham, for those playing at home). A whirlwind romance ensued, culminating in a very public marriage in 1999.

HOBBIES AND SPORTS David Beckham wasn't always the global icon we know today. He started out, like most footballers, as a scrawny teenager booting a ball around. But in 1992, at the tender age of 17, he weaseled his way into the Manchester United first team. What followed was a trophy haul that would make a dragon jealous: six Premier League titles, a Champions League win, and a whole cabinet full of other shiny things.

He then waltzed off to Spain, joining the galacticos of Real Madrid. After four seasons of dazzling footwork and designer stubble, he helped them win the La Liga title. (Though, let's be honest, with a team like that, winning was practically a formality.)

But Beckham craved a new challenge, so he hopped across the pond to America and joined the LA Galaxy. Here, he became a superstar not just on the pitch, but also in the world of glitz and glam. He even managed to squeeze in a couple of loan spells in Italy, just to keep things interesting. By the time he retired in 2013, after two glorious decades on the pitch, he'd racked up a staggering 100 Champions League appearances – a then-record for any Brit.

Oh yes, he also played for England, captaining them for six years! 

Aside from football, Beckham is interested in fashion, photography, and motorsports.
