“At school whenever the teachers asked, ‘What do you want to do when you’re older?’ I’d say, ‘I want to be a footballer.’ And they’d say, ‘No, what do you really want to do, for a job?’ ….David Beckham
The London-born midfielder began his professional career with Manchester United at the age of 17 before he rose up to be one of the finest wingers of his generation.

On this day in 2003, away at Eveton, Beckham scored his last goal in for Manchester United via his trade mark free kick.
