One of the most
successful, decorated and celebrated footballers out of England, has announced his plan of
quitting the game of leather by the end of the season.
David Beckham, the former
Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan and present PSG player has
announced his retirement at the age of 38 and after 21years of active football
career. He’s the only English player to win a league
title in four different countries.
From his Google +
circle, I have this ‘Must Read Note’ from the footballer that is known for his
special kicks:
Beckham wrote:
I'm thankful to PSG
for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to
finish my career, playing at the highest level. 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 one hundred times and
lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it
was a fantasy. I'm fortunate to have realised those dreams.
To this day, one of my proudest achievements is captaining my country. I knew every time I wore the Three Lions shirt, I was not only following in a long line of great players, I was also representing every fan that cared passionately about their country. I'm honored to represent England both on and off the pitch.
I wouldn't have achieved what I have done today without my family. I'm grateful for my parents' sacrifice, which made me realise my dreams. I owe everything to Victoria and the kids, who have given me the inspiration and support to play at the highest level for such a long period. I also want to thank Simon Fuller and his team for their continued support.
I want to thank all my team-mates, the great managers that I had the pleasure of learning from. I also want to thank the fans who have all supported me and given me the strength to succeed.
Nothing will ever completely replace playing the game I love, however I feel like I'm starting a new adventure and I'm genuinely excited about what lies ahead. I'm fortunate to have been given many opportunities throughout my career and now I feel it's my time to give back.
