Which brings us to the other difference...he just wasn't. All three players you mentioned were far better footballers than Beckham.

Beckham was a good player. A very good player. But I genuinely never felt there was a single point of his career where he was one of the top 20 players in the world. Saxo is right- if Beckham looked like Luke Chadwick, he never would have achieved

'Saxo is right- if Beckham looked like Luke Chadwick, he never would have achieved this level of fame. He'd still have been famous, as he was a very good player. But I'd be astonished if he'd have made even half as much money'


The looks are only half of the story.
