    There's two major difference though. All of those players, despite having big global presence, never had Beckham's level of superstardom. If you were to believe the level of media hype equated to his level of ability, you would think Beckham was easily the best player who ever lived. 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

    Thank you, that's all it took. Difference of opinion. You can't honestly say that he was not a good role model for any young footballer?

    '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.

    Getting engaged and then marrying a member of the worlds biggest ever girl group is what launched his off the field career.
