Synopsis:

Perfect for fans of the hit Netflix docuseries, Beckham.

The autobiography of arguably the world's most celebrated sports icon, David Beckham--a classic rags to riches saga of a boy, born into a poor East End London family, with prodigious talent and a father who believed in him and supported him until he became the most gifted athlete of his generation and his nation's captain.

In his own words, Beckham talks about the pressures of celebrity, his controversial and celebrated career, his marriage to Victoria Beckham and family, and, of course, life as the world's best-known soccer player. In Beckham, the ordinary guy who fate decided would be lifted to glory tells the story of how it all happened.
