May 2nd, 2008 - Happy Birthday David Beckham!
By Allie | May 2, 2008
David Robert Joseph Beckham, OBE (born 2 May 1975) is an English professional footballer, who plays as a midfielder.
He’s 33!
He currently plays for and captains Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles Galaxy and is also a member of the England national team. He earned his 100th cap for England against France in March 2008.
He has twice been runner-up for FIFA World Player of the Year, and in 2004 was the world’s highest-paid footballer. He was Google’s most searched of all sports topics in both 2003 and 2004. Such global recognition has made him an elite advertising brand and a top fashion icon.
Beckham was born at Whipps Cross Hospital in Leytonstone, London, England; the son of David Edward Alan “Ted” Beckham, a kitchen fitter and Manchester United fan, and wife Sandra Georgina West, a hairdresser. He regularly played football in Ridgeway Park, Chingford as a child. He attended Chase Lane Primary School and Chingford Foundation School as a child. His maternal family is Jewish, and Beckham has referred to himself as “half Jewish” and spoken of the influence the religion has had on him, although he is not known to practice Judaism or any other faith. In his book Both Feet on the Ground, he stated that growing up he always attended church with his parents and his two sisters, Joanne and Lynne.
Personal Life:
In 1997, Beckham started dating Victoria Adams, after she attended a Manchester United match. She was famously known as “Posh Spice” of the pop music group Spice Girls, one of the world’s top pop groups at the time, and his team was also enjoying a great run of success. Therefore, their relationship instantly attracted a great deal of media attention. The couple were dubbed “Posh and Becks” by the media. He proposed to Victoria on 24 January 1998 in a restaurant in Cheshunt, England.
David and Victoria have three sons: Brooklyn Joseph Beckham (born March 4, 1999 in London, England), Romeo James Beckham (born September 1, 2002 in London, England) and Cruz David Beckham (born February 20, 2005 in Madrid, Spain - contrary to popular opinion, Cruz is not named for family friend Tom Cruise, but is Spanish for “cross”). Both Brooklyn and Romeo’s godfather is Elton John and godmother is Elizabeth Hurley. They have stated that they would like to have more children, especially a daughter.
