I think Beckham's media personality has glossed over quite how good a player he was. He was amazing, truly one of the best players that have pulle don the red shirt, at least in the last 30 years.
His celebrity has overshadowed his achievements, indeed I think his celebrity made him into a better player than he was, with talk of the 'best ever' and the like, but this should not cloud our judgments over quite how good he was.
