    Putting his wife and all the Brand Beckham crap aside he's a great player who always gave 100% commitment and effort to his clubs and country

    No comparison with the self centered, vain numbskull Ferdinand who "retired" from International Football yesterday. Beckham is probably ashamed to have played alongside that fool

    One of the nicest footballers of his generation and probably the best crosser of the ball ever. Don't agree with his choice of woman though!

    Agreed. That plum has a right chip on his shoulder.

    I've got plenty of time for David Beckham. He's not the usual football self-centred loud mouth.

    Personally I always felt he was among the best team-players anywhere. Gifted at many things, free-kicks,set-pieces, crosses etc.

    Wonder what he's got up his sleeve
    Only 38 too

    I remember when Mr Ferdinand was at Leeds. .hailed as the next Bobby Moore. .no way. ..the man is a disgrace and a drug cheat. ..as for David Beckham, the most likeable guy in football, is likely going to trouser £300 million over the next 20 years. ..that's if the sensationalist papers are to believed today. .and why not. .I'd rather he get it.

    Can't stand Ferdinand.
    Not sure I agree with the Papers about £300 million over 20 years as once you stop playing and old father time kicks in I would imagine earnings start to slide. Good luck to him in whatever he chooses to do though, he's a likable guy.

    I know matey I'm just questioning can they continue at this rate. Now he's retired and getting older, somebody else will come along and be more attractive to the sponsors.
    However he has had a good run at it although I think he was a touch fortunate as the next big England star after him (Rooney) was so unattractive to sponsors in both a physical and intellectual sense.
    I mean if you was Calvin Kline would you be interested in Shrek advertising your clobber. I think not

    Some sponsors are more than happy with Fat Boy

    Just heard on the radio that Chris Waddle doesn't think Beckham ranks in the top one thousand of best ever footballers.

    He's not the greatest but definitely in the top thousand.

    Funny coming from a footballer who thought he was a pop star
    62 appearances for England compared to 115 a record for outfiled England player.
    Where does Waddle rank then outside the top 5,000

    Waddle is jealous because he's got a daft name.
