Even if you don’t like sports, I would say everyone knows the name David Beckham. The soccer star is a household name. Although he retired almost 10 years ago, the athlete is still talked about to this day.
The English footballer started his professional career with Manchester United in 1992 when he was just 17 years old. He retired after 20 years in May 2013. During his career, he won 19 major titles.
He is known for his passes, crosses and free kicks as a right winger, and is one of the best and most famous midfielders of his generation. He is the first English player to win league titles in four countries: England, Spain, the United States and France.
All that talent and we don’t have a documentary on it yet? Well, that’s about to change thanks to Netflix!
