About this title

From the Back Cover:

A BRAND NEW SERIES OF FAST-MOVING, GOAL-GRABBING SOCCER CELEBRATIONS.

Brylcreemed Beckham has become a major celebrity both on and off the pitch. The six-foot tall 22 year old grew up with Manchester United to become one of their most outstanding players.

In spite of the media hype, David remains a true red footballer, interested in playing for United and his country and in proving that you really can win with kids.

David Beckham first kicked a ball at Old Trafford at the age of 11 – in a taste of what was ahead, he had just won the TSB Bobby Charlton Skills Championship. Beckham's career has been on the up since that moment. Snapped up by United at the Age of 14, the East London lad has never looked back. Named man of the match for a superb England performance v Belgium in May 1996, he has made his mark in both domestic and international football – life doesn't get much better than this.

Beckham's inimitable game, the strength of his goals and outstanding team skills made him a firm favourite with the fans. He is a perfect example of the Manchester United 'system' and the inspiration for all kids who want to play professional football.

Noam Friedlander worked as an intern on the CNN International Sports Desk in Atlanta. Since then, he has worked on the' Sunday Times' Sports Desk, 'The Box' magazine and the 'Manchester United Official Review 96/7'. She is now a freelance journalist and contributes to 'FourFourTwo, Glory, Glory Man United' and Manchester United magazines.
