After 21 years of playing football, David Beckham has announced his
retirement at the age of 38. The footballer who is worth about $220million,
captained 115 games for England, and played for Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA
Galaxy, AC Milan and PSG. He's
the only English player to win a league title in four different
countries. In a statement Beckham said:
"I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the
highest level. 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.'
He will now work as a sports ambassador.

We've heard that before... After he won the title with LA galaxy, he annnounced his retirement only to return and joined PSG.Well, I hope this time he has retired for good, because it seems the huge tax and ostentatious life this guys live coupled with the economic melt down all around the world keep making this guys return to football after announcing their retirement(e.g Paul Scholes).
D super hotness, too fine a man... im just too overwhelmed by his beautythat I'm short of words. Happy retirement Becks, the ffinest footballer ever!

What a good way to retire.God abeg naaah bless me now so that I can also retire early in life cos all the efforts I have put into Lagos hustle don pass playing football for 30yrs sef. Good environment matters o. Enjoy your life man and look after your family including your two dogs.

To a legend I av come to know in football d only human blessed enuf and genetically designed to bend it like no one can. Weldone becks ur unmatched exhibition of great football skillls an sportamanship at its best aroused a penchant to d game. Truly no one can bend it like beckham
Oh yes he's been enjoying it.
Beckham once said "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 100 times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy,". Foootball will surely miss your deadly setpieces. Wish you all the best Becks of Life
please go... I'm not a fan of his soccer career dunno why but I like him as a person

David beckham is one of d most successful athletes of all time. his name sells tickets n jersey. He is a brand on his own without football sef. Even if he plays rubbish nobody is going to drive him away. I'm pretty sure he's walking away on his own
