Backroom Tom Posted May 16, 2013 Backroom Share Posted May 16, 2013 He's been retired for years. Yep let's he honest he's an icon but as a player he was pretty much finished when he went to LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim mk2 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Not the most talented player and always thought he was over-rated but he always gave 100 per cent and he will always be remembered for the his performance in the World Cup qualifier against Greece in 2001 when he played the Greeks on his own while his team-mates went into hiding owing to the pressure of the occasion. One of the best individual performances I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevidgeBlue Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 George Best on Beckham: “Beckham cannot kick with his left foot, can’t head the ball, can’t tackle and he doesn’t score enough goals. Otherwise he’s all right.”Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/191964/Georges-Best-quotes.html#ixzz2TTKusWLd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman. Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 One of England's genuine World Class players of his generation, and one of the few who didn't under perform at International Level. Shame he always seemed to pick up injuries just before major tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame he always seemed to pick up injuries just before major tournaments. I can't agree he was world class. He could cross and take a free kick. Other than that it's all PR propaganda.

Backroom DE. Posted May 16, 2013 Backroom Share Posted May 16, 2013 Beckham's natural talent was limited to certain aspects of the game, but he strived to make the absolute best out of the talents he did have and has been rewarded with a fantastic career as a result. Seems like a decent fella as well, comes across as fairly humble and down to Earth despite his status and fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman. Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I can't agree he was world class. He could cross and take a free kick. Other than that it's all PR propaganda. Completely disagree. People choose to forget/ never accepted how good he was- if people around here think Tugay was world class, well, Beckham was a or two league ahead, with similar attributes.

I don't really want to get into a debate about what counts as "world class" with anyone, but a player who plays hundreds of games for Man Utd, Real Madrid and AC Milan, captains his country with 100+ caps and has a huge medal haul has to be right up there.

Stuart Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 What a week. First Rafa slips out of our grasp and now this! I'm beginning to think we might not be seeing Champions League football at Ewood in three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. The only people who seem to rate Beckham are the best managers in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reedy You're A Star Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Or the best team's in the world marketing department / accountants. His ability to sell shirts in the Far East far outways his talent. He was good, but never World Class. If he looked like Luke Chadwick he'd have never have got the over-inflated reputation he has now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted May 16, 2013 Moderation Lead Share Posted May 16, 2013 That free kick vs Greece and the goal from the halfway line against Wimbledon will always be what he's remembered for. If you're of the PNE persuasion, maybe the goal direct from a corner!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he didn't under perform football wise but him being a nobhead managed to get us knocked out of France 98 At least he matured into what seems like a decent bloke though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I was expecting some negative reactions, I certainly didn't expect that to be thrown up against him. What point are you trying to make? Him getting sent off does not discard anything I've said at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with him, it's a shame that some people will still remember the one or two things he got wrong and allow it to overshadow what was a great career.Completely agree with Batman's post on this topic. At his peak he had the pick of any any team in the world. Marketing may have been part of it but you don't win the trophies he has through marketing.

Jesus HIt's a valid point to make, when you talk about major tournaments its fair to mention that if it wasn't for his petulance we may have had a good chance in that tournament All being said I'd much rather the likes of David beckham play for us and Captain us than most of the squad these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4E Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Your reaction now Tom is every bit as embarrassing as it was then. If England had beaten Argentina you'd then have had to beat Holland, Brazil and France. There's absolutely no chance. I guess the Lampard "over the line" incident cost you the 2010 World Cup too? Only once has a refereeing decision ever had a direct impact on England winning the World Cup - and it went in your favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted May 16, 2013 Backroom Share Posted May 16, 2013 I said we may have had a good chance not we would have won it Germany battered England that has no bearing on anything at all, all I'm saying is if we are going to say he never under performed at major tournaments its only fair to say he potentially cost us in other ways at them. As for your last point you could try and argue that the hand of god incident stopped us having a chance at winning it but we'll never know the outcome Anyway I wonder if Beckham will consider a future in the game? He's certainly been around long enough it and has a passion for it but on the other hand he doesn't need to, I imagine we may just see him in an ambassador role still and maybe as a pundit at world cups etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
