In 2006, David Beckham had the chance to lead England to World Cup glory in Germany as captain. It was the pinnacle of his career, and the eyes of the world were on him as he prepared for the biggest summer of his life. In an exclusive documentary for ITV1, Beckham opened up about his journey to the top, reflecting on his life and career and the events and characters that shaped it.
The documentary offers an intimate look into the life of one of the world’s most famous footballers. Beckham speaks candidly about his humble beginnings and rise to international stardom, recounting personal anecdotes and insights into the key moments that defined his career. From his childhood in Leytonstone to his time at Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, and Paris Saint-Germain, Beckham shares his thoughts on the games, goals, and events that shaped his career and transformed him into a football superstar.
One of the key themes that emerges from the documentary is the importance of hard work and dedication. Beckham admits that he was not a naturally gifted footballer and that he had to work tirelessly to develop his skills. He credits his father, who worked as a kitchen fitter, for instilling in him the work ethic that would later propel him to success.
