There's no getting away from the Brand Beckham thing which overshadowed things in a way, it became a circus in many ways but you can't put down what he helped us achieved in his time here. He was (and still is) Manchester United through & through, the club will always run through his veins. He came through the ranks, he never gave anything less than 100% to the club, he was a model professional and he has never had anything bad to say about the club (unlike some bitter cnut lately that shall remain nameless).
The David Beckham Appreciation Thread
- Thread starter Maciej
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I can see him coming back and play for a mid table London club (Spurs, West Ham)
I think Spurs is the club he'd be most likely to go to if he went to England. Harry Redknapp is an admirer of his, his grandfather is a Tottenham fan and it's not a million miles from Beckingham Palace. He wouldn't fit into Wenger's ideals of wanting pacier players.I couldn't see him going to West Ham becuase of the fans.
Who could afford him?Unless he takes a pay cut the only clubs who could afford him would be Chelsea,Man City or ourselves.We dont want him and Beckham is too big a gentleman to do a Tevez,so it looks like Chelsea
Bang on Brad.
I saw someone on here say he couldnt come back to us because of his wage demands, honestly i think if fergie rang him saying him he wanted him back for a while because he felt it would help the team then beckham would take ten quid a week to play and fund the transfer himself, honestly dont think in my life i have seen a more pure united fan playing for the team expect possibly gary neville (coincidently his best mate).
i think a lot of people on here dont want to call him a united legend or admit how great of a player he was because it just isnt as cool as going on about keane or robson.
I fecking love Beckham, legend in my eyes
Love the man. A real United fan through and through and I would absolutely love to see him back. Of course it's not even a realistic dream but I'd take him in a second and as mentioned above I think he'd play for free given the chance.
A legend in my eyes. His love for the club is there for all to see.

I <3 Beckham and am trying to grow a beard in his honour.
Flash Cockney T**t. Good Red though.
Not so long as he can get a game for Milan. The slower pace of the Italian game will suit Becks at his age. I'll always his goal against Wimbledon and watching the trajectory of the ball as it flew towards the net. You don't see it one the video as the goalie's back was to the camera but he was absolutely gobsmacked. He just couldn't believe what had happened.
I think his cross to Yorke, at Anfield in 98/99 is his greatest. Strikes it first time, it's even slightly behind him at an angle, but he delivers an absolute pearler to the back post, making it impossible for defence and goalkeeper as he hangs it up agonisingly between both for Yorke to nod in. Beautiful.
Seconded.
One of my favourite all time players, on and off the pitch I think he's brilliant. What a crosser of the ball too, stunning accuracy.
Yes, at times he has been an amazing footballer. And I have no doubt that he is a legendary footballer per se as well as an Team England Legend.
However, categorically, a Manchester United legend he is not. There are just too many who disagree to make this claim credible.
Quite curious as to what a Manchester United legend is. Would it be someone who had a long, very successful career with the club and was instrumental in said success, and loved the club to pieces?
Philip Neville, Nicky Butt, Andrew Cole, Jaap Stam, Ronnie Jonson and many others share the characteristics you describe. In return, I ask you why none of these would be given the said status.
because for some reason that i've never fathomed, beckham makes some people wet themselves and they perceive him differently to you or i
if us winning it means the inclusion of the beckham circus, then so do i
I just hope he gets his hands on the World Cup trophy this summer coming
None of them really hit the same heights or longetivity as Beckham.
Other than the first two, who were mostly bit part players, do you think any of the others 'loved the club to pieces' ?
United legend without a shadow of a doubt.
Has the goals, the assists, the caps, the drama to prove it all.
For those who dont want to call him a legend, they are just those hard cnuts who like to think they are "top reds".
fecking muppets.

Galaxy finished the regular season as the best team in Western Conference, now playing in play-offs (quarterfinal) against Chivas USA.
Would be good to see Beckham winning something in USA.

Yes I like Beckham both as a person and footballer ,question, would you take him back on loan if he would come here?
I'd like to see him in United shirt again, but I think he shouldn't back at Old Trafford, you shouldn't come back to your old club - just remember those good memories.
Is he the best crosser of the ball ever?
Who was better?

Beckham was a United legend.
If the two corners that won us the European Cup in Barcelona were not enough being an integral part of winning SIX championships whilst probably being the most famous athlete on the planet makes it a no brainer. He did and still does Man Utd proud!

Los Angeles Galaxy are now in Western Conference final, they will now play with Houston Dynamo on Friday for a place in the MLS final.
They won against Chivas USA, 1-0 after Donovan's goal (2-2 in the first game).
What a cross by Beckham before that penalty in 73th minute
(3:35)

Some changes in Becks' stats.
We miss you David. In United and in South Africa now.

He is in South Africa. If you're truly desperate to see his face on an ongoing basis, there's apparently a lookalike in the Big Brother House.
David Beckham is a honest pro and he loves Man Utd. He always speaks highly of United and whenever he gets a chance, never forgets to trot our name in there somewhere.
I was pissed when he went to Madrid after all things done, but he's United through and through. He apparently said no to Everton's interest because he's a Man Utd fan and it's 'too close' to home.

<3
Had a look at his cameo last season at Old Trafford... and the interview after... You can tell he's struggling, and I just can't help but melt for him over that... He can relate to us on a match day.
Not to mention him rubbing his hands at Emirates... I'm grinning thinking about it
Agreed. What a legend.
legend me arse - pity you never saw his last 2.5 years with us when he was suckholing around the Ingerlund/media circus who threw darts at his image while we stood by him. During that period he was about as effective/committed for us as Gary Birtles.
David Beckham, the Diana Spencer of football - yep, he had his moments but his trollop of a wife's career was more important than Fergie's advice to focus on his United career. I'd rather stand by a real legend (and his judgement) who has little time for him
legend?
for fanbois only
btw, you'll find out who Gary Birtles was if you wiki it

Good to see Becks at Old Trafford with Gary.
He needs a haircut! And a shave!

Certainly among the best players to have played for us. agree about him getting his priorities wrong towards the end.
but He is a solid red. He loves the club and will be a huge ambassador for us in the near future.
and Gary Birtles is a cnut btw.
