I guess everyone has to retire, and Becks has chosen to do it this time. He had a great career playing football/soccer. It made him happy and at the same time extremely successful and wealthy. Like most retired players, he will never stop getting involved with his favorite sport. I won't be surprised if he concentrate in football/soccer coaching, football/soccer academy, and being a football/soccer ambassador around the world.
Becks has a special charisma that inspires young and old to fall in love with the sport. I saw him played in person at least for 3 games, two in Vancouver, BC (Canada), and one in Seattle, WA (USA). What a charming player. A player who is capable of scoring from outside of 18 yards box. A great midfielder, first Englishman who won league titles from four countries, England, Spain, USA and France: Most of all, one of the few fittest footballer/soccer players who played at the age of 38 years old at the highest level of league games, the two most recent ones, as a former player for MLS - LA Galaxy and then as a recent player for Paris Saint-Germain.
Good luck Becks, or Sir David Robert Joseph Beckham! You will always be remember especially by me (you share your two middle names with my hubby, Albert Riopel - in the same order too)! Coincidence.
Soccer fans will surely miss you. My hubby and I are great fans of yours. Wishing you & Victoria, and your four beautiful kids all the happiness in the world. God bless.
