Review:
It's not bad going to write your autobiography aged only 23. But for David Beckham it is probably no big deal. So huge is the modern football business that he has been catapulted to a level of stardom undreamed of by the sporting greats of the past.

One minute we are singing his praises; the next we are castigating him for losing control of his temper and being a poor role model. Where does the truth lie? Now from Beckham himself, we gain a vivid and at times searingly honest insight into the family man behind the famous footballer, the international model and fashion leader. He describes how he first met and t
