David Beckham Announces His Retirement

 

The soccer world, still recovering from the news that the legendary Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, is to retire at the end of the season, is suddenly dealing with another United icon calling it a day. At 38, David Beckham, who left Old Trafford back in 2003, confirmed on Thursday that he was hanging up his boots. “If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over 100 times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy,” he said in a statment. “I’m fortunate to have realized those dreams.”
Beckham is the only English player to have won championships in four countries – England,spain, the U.S. and france– and helped raise the profile of the sport in America by playing for the LA Galaxy between 2007-2012. The tributes came pouring in, including from British Prime Minister David Cameron, who twetted “Best wishes as David #BeckhamRetires His magical free kicks for @MUFC and England will live long in the memory of all football fans.” Beckham was also instrumental away from the soccer field, playing a significant part in the successful bid to bring the 2012 Olympic Games to London.
