David Beckham: "I’m proud of the fact that I’ve come so far, because I could easily have gone in the other direction"
Even in 1999, no one believed Manchester United’s historic treble season was the peak of his career. Twenty years (and eleven GQ covers) later, David Beckham has bought out his business partner and is building an empire to stand the test of time. For his ongoing projects in fashion, football and philanthropy, we commend the player who changed the game for everyone.
Former England soccer captain David Beckham, veteran US singer and song-writer Iggy Pop and teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg were among the figures honoured on Tuesday at the annual GQ Men of the Year Awards.
Beckham, who retired from professional soccer in 2013, received the Editor’s Special Award for his services to the sport over a career of more than two decades that included playing for clubs such as Manchester United and Real Madrid as well as the England national team.
Asked by British GQ magazine in an interview to be published in its October edition what advice he had for his children, Beckham said: “To work hard, simple as that.”
