| David Beckham As a Manchester United player, David Beckham is used to winning. He is one of the most famous Englishmen in the World today. Of course, it is impossible to have an unbiased opinion of this young man or the team that he plays for. If you are a Man Utd fan, you love him. If you aren't a fan of this team, then your opinion of Mr. Beckham may be quite different. In fact, in recent times, his treatment by fans of other teams has been extremely unsavoury, especially when he has been playing for England. Some of the worst words have not even been aimed at Beckham but at his wife and young child, which is a bad thing. It has been hard for the football leaders to control such unruly behaviour. How can you discipline people for their comments when so many people are guilty? But under the pressure of being shouted at by so many people, he has always remained calm. Of course, a lot of the bad things about Beckham are due to his own actions. He is a very fashionable young man, but some of the clothes he has worn have been simply amazing. Why a person in his position would choose to wear a skirt in public is truly unbelievable! Furthermore, to wear such things in unseasonable times as mid-winter seems even crazier! His behavior on the football pitch has also been unpredictable at times. Sometimes he is brilliant; sometimes he does crazy things. Some of the most famous footballing incidents involving Beckham are not his spectacular goals but his ungainly tackles. The most famous occasion was in France '98, when a clumsy tackle led to him being sent off. However, he is not guilty of such things, and if he can stop such behavior he could even become England'next captain. |
