David
Beckham Books |
| Ask anyone
to name a famous person in the world and David Beckham's name
will probably come up within five answers. No player is bigger
than United, but Becks could probably argue the case. Why
did he leave United? Was it because he fell out with Fergie?
Maybe his wife had a say in it or purely for football reasons
- a new challenge on his behalf and a good business move for
Manchester United (although many would argue he left for peanuts
to Real Madrid). He is now no longer in the England set-up
either, meaning David is back in the headlines. Becks is always
in the media and many books have been written about him. We
bring to you the full listing... |
