Tuesday, 20 November 2007

David Beckham is a multi-millionaire football phenomenon, fashion icon and global celebrity. His life reads like a Hollywood movie script where he has been both hero and villain.

His incredible story has had many twists and turns, which includes soccer bust ups, and a jet-set lifestyle as one of the most famous celebrity couples.

Beckham is the most recognised footballer in the world. He's played with two of the biggest teams in the world and is married to a 'Posh' Spice Girl. Now he is moving to Los Angeles in a bid to boost the image of soccer in America. But how did an East End boy go from the grim suburbs of London to the glamour of LA, via Manchester and Madrid?

This documentary charts Beckham's life, from growing up in London to playing for Manchester United, Real Madrid and captaining England.
