David Beckham

Soccer Megastar

By Murcia, Rebecca Thatcher

Publishers Summary:
David Beckham started out like so many soccer-playing children around the world: kicking the ball around the park with his father. But Beckham worked especially hard at the sport. He learned how to kick the ball far, and he developed incredible aim. When he was only 13, he signed with Manchester United, a famous English soccer team. When he was sixteen, he left home to train with the team full-time. He was picked for the English national team and later asked to be the team's captain. When he married pop singer Victoria Spice, he became one of the most famous soccer players in the world. His celebrity has brought him both good and bad things.
