Hailed as one of the greatest midfielders of his generation, Beckham played for Manchester United, Real Madrid, Milan, LA Galaxy, and Paris Saint-Germain, over his 20-year career, during which he won 19 major trophies. As captain of the England national team for six years, he earned 58 caps, and made 115 career appearances, including at three FIFA World Cup tournaments, and two UEFA European Championships. He was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2008. "The confrontations between Beckham and Ferguson have the acid marks of authenticity." –Mail on Sunday
