It's about time somebody reminded people how truly world class David Beckham was as a footballer. If we can reach 10,000 likes on this one, we'll make this the start of a series on the channel. What other players would you like us to look into?
World class for me is the ability to turn a game on it head and Beckham did that consistently for club and country. Souness wishes he had a tenth of his technical ability.
Zlatan summarized it. Beckham had the streets then. Now also. Besides everything, he is a treble winner and was a world class player. Came second in the Ballon D Or race.
As a kid my introduction to how important the number 7 was in football was with Cantona and Beckham. These two have contributed to why Man Utd’s number 7 has so much weight to it. Classy players, both of them in different ways.
Great work Sam. I’m proud to be part of the best channel to represent Man United and our players. Beckham setting the standards on how to be world class.
Damn, someone needs to make sure Becks sees this. Utter quality. Well done, Same and the team. I still remember getting the new Predator boots for Xmas as a kid and not being able to wait to get outside and take free kicks in them with my mates. I feel sorry for newer United fans not having players nowadays that gave you that longing to be a United player as much as Beckham did for my generation.
Thanks Sam, that's a brilliant reminder of what a truly special talent he was. I always loved the fact that he didn't just rely on his talent either, he was a real grafter too and gave everything on the pitch.
David Beckham is THE reason I support United. He's the reason I wore #7 in every sport. He's the reason my kids support United. Underappreciated doesn't even begin to explain it, honestly. He's a mix of De Bruyne on the field and Cristiano off it. How he stays so seemingly level headed is almost as impressive as his right foot.
I support United today because at 8 years old (in 2002) I saw a guy in a red top take a set piece. I begged my dad for that shirt and he (not knowing the difference) got me a number 10 Bergkamp shirt (Yes, I was that close to supporting Arsenal.) Thank God I remembered the guy I saw was number 7. He soon left United but his replacement wasn't bad at all. GGMU
100% worldclass! He is the reason I started supporting United as a kid. (Edit) In today's game he'd be a box-to-box CM I reckon or maybe a 10. He was tailor made for these positions.
Great video, Sam, on the greatest player ever to put the United shirt on. Sir Alex, in his autobiography, called David "the finest striker of a football ever" and I think he knows a bit more than Graeme Souness.
People seem to forget that Sir Alex Ferguson also uses him a central midfielder when needed. His work rate was very good. His crossing of the ball was brilliant. His freekick ability was deadly. He had a winning mentality. He drove the ball forward fearlessly. What a player! 🙂
For me Beckham is football. He is the reason, why I stared watching football, and I am a fan of Man utd. Most people don't understand what type of inhuman ability do they need to give such long high pass.
Brilliant video, timely reminder. I'm from Australia and Beck's was the reason I started following the football as a kid in the 90s. He was the best in the world at more than one category.. absolutely world class
His legacy is on the field but also off it. He was the first player to fully explore and utilize off-field popularity to create a "brand" that was David Beckham. He laid the foundation for what modern players attempt and want to achieve from a business perspective, as well as playing.
They're cancelling Ryan Joseph Giggs. He'll be forgotten way sooner than Becks. What a shame. The best Premier League player ever has been vilified due to things outside football.
This coming from a United fan. But I'm sorry. Just because Ryan Giggs is the most decorated PL player, doesn't imply he was the best in PL. There have been better PL players than Giggs. United ones as well as ones from other clubs. And keeping aside his personal life, Ryan Giggs is not even in the top 5 best United players. Top 10 maybe, but never top 5. Charlton, Best, Rooney, Cantona, Law are all above Giggs. Stop glorifying him just because he's done it all and won it all. And lastly, yes. The sooner we forget him, the better.
I supported United because of Beckham, was gifted a poster of him when I was a child and I was so happy to hang it on my wall, besides all wallpaper background in my computers as well. A real childhood hero for me.
Remember when souness said something like 'lay your medals on the table'to pogba? Well Graham why don't you as becks the same question. Typical bin dipper
You could put a marker in my local village or Nigeria and Beckham would've hit the exact spot with a football. Everybody was trying to take free kicks like him. Still sad that he left for Madrid 😢
Fabulous videos again Sam, great production, slick editing, and score, all round, wonderful vid, for our younger fans to see just how to put in a shift, watch Becks in the 99 Final, in fact, that whole season he was a Colossus for Man Utd, and should get his name sung, at OT
Great video, I grew up watching Becks, his technique was flawless. Every full back in the world knew what he was going to do, but still failed to stop those pinpoint crosses. World Class all day.
you could have talked so much more about his time at Madrid, being shunned from the team after signing his mls contract but working his way back onto the first team anyway and leading la Liga in assists as Madrid won the title; or playing in MLS and being able to walk onto the Milan side and play in the champions league as a contributor, or being able to go to PSG in the twilight of his career as they were starting their era of dominance and be a weekly starter for them. There is a very short list of players in history that could do that in the history of world football.
First ever football shirt for me was Beckham, i think the 1996-1997 shirt, with 10 BECKHAM on the back. I couldnt pronounce his name properly so I'd call him David Beckh-HAM, haha. Man, I love this guy, still do...what a fucking baller!
David Beckham is my all time fav player of all time, wore my hair the same & practiced my free kicks to emulate him & to cross the ball and my daughter was born on the same day as him, 2nd may
I wish we had someone like him come from the academy to carry on the legacy of our academy and become a worldclass player and bring a new era in our club.
People forget how massive he was. Just watch reels of the Japan WC and when he hit LA. It was absurd how big he was globally…and he backed it up every week for 20 years. Without question, to me, the greatest English export of all time, both in sports and as an ambassador.
Beckham was world class, end of. He was and still is my all time favourite footballer. His long passing ability is unmatched. He would also often not just show up in the big games, but get game winning goals and assists. PS.. Salah isn't a winger, he's a wide forward.
I am Irish and I think Beckham is world class and a true gentleman. I am not biased and have some evil motives like an "English fan" might. I see from the outside and What I see is a man who made adversity into an advantage. He is conventional in his style of play but thats what made him great, a God given Talent to whip in a cross or free kick with such precision. Beckham wasn't flashy but he was so effective. You don't have to be "flashy" to be world class, since when is tricks and skills only reason you are world class, look at CR7 now- With that logic Rooney, Andy Cole or Yorke are not world class. Beckham was a great footballer, an icon and he's an even better man. He may be rich as hell and has now become a little isolated from the average Joe but he's still an inspiration. Give Becks the respect he deserves, He was CR7 before CR7 i.e., An Icon. I tell you who isn't World class, a dinosaur like Graeme Souness who spent his entire football career, kicking people's shins and ending careers. Clowns will continue to Clown but Beckham always has the last laugh, icon always will be relevant. Souness has hot takes to stay relevant like a clown.
I think Souness forgot that Beckham make it further in the world cup and european championship than Gramme ever did. Also Beckham was very fit and never got injured. The amount of running he did per game was great
Imo i think Beckham was world class. I mean his passing, crossing, free kicks etc were incredible nit forgetting his goals & assists & the Fact he had great stamina aswell. Far as im concerned he should've won the Ballon D'or when we won the treble
Most fans nowadays who say he isn’t world class weren’t alive at the time he played. If he wasn’t robbed of a Balon Dor in 99 then this would never be a discussion
Beckham wasn’t world class he was a GLOBAL SUPERSTAR before we knew we had one. Man had star power no one else could get. And I always thought he was a central midfielder when he was at united and that was one of the things I loved his spell at Madrid for. Oh and he played at a time when people didn’t give assisters any recognition yet he was in the thick of things always.
That video definitely lived up to the hype! Amazing job, Sam and everyone. As for Becks - nothing more to add, brilliant player and character. Love him to bits!
Fantastic video. So, so true. About time we revisited Becks as it really felt like he suffered massively due to his public persona back in the day. Souness is the exact sort of proper football bloke who would come out with that nonsense - how dare he be pretty, adored around the world AND be an elite footballer.
Brilliant video, David Beckham is without a doubt your favourite players favourite player! The way he handled his business on the pitch and the way he has set his life up off it, too
Sam, you have put your heart and soul into this and I my friend applaud your work AMAZING as always!!!!! Perhaps a mini doc on strikers past and present from early 90’s to now??
Unfortunately Beckham is one of the reasons we’re in this business era of football. He was the first player who really cared about media presence and was essentially moved on by Ferguson because he was becoming a bigger name than the club.
I started and following united due to him he came suddenly in my instagram feed and watched the Netflix series and i fell in love with hum and the club . Excellent work sam
Came second in a Ballon D’Or to Rivaldo who didn’t even get out of the same Champions League group as Beckham, a Champions League that David Beckham went on to win that year, but wasn’t a world class footballer? Fair play, Graeme, I’m sure you’re saying that with no bias at all…
Yea, when I think of great players from that era I would usually think of Keane, Giggs and Scholes... but it's just because I often forget about Beckham. But if I do happen to remember him then he would absolutely be up there too, If you were picking a best 11 you'd be a fool not to include him. I think he gets forgotten partly because he didn't end his career at United, and partly because he was a celebrity.
Could you please do a documentary on Manchester United History from Netwon Heath to Ferguson era to our downfall and how we got there but also how we are a sleeping giant.
It was easy to forget about Becks because even after his departure, Manchester United continued to dominate the league. It's easier to miss him now that things aren't going too well.
Great video I was devastated when he left, and for me, he is a legend and undoubtedly worldclass. Ronaldo filled his boots pretty quickly, so in a way he was never really missed. Is that maybe why he doesn't rank higher for some fans and pundits?
What a brilliant fucking video. He should have one the Ballon D Or in 99. It’s a joke that Rivaldo won it, after the fact that they didn’t even get out of the group stages in the CL. He was not just world class he was the best in the world and he did it in the season after World Cup 98’ where he got all the hate and abuse off an entire country.

The impact of Cantona on utd and prem football in general cannot be over stated
Rooney please he his so unappreciated and underrated
Yes Mr Peoples - the revisionism of Beckham is outrageous. Beckham would walk into any team in the world now.
Eric Cantona I mean why wouldn't u
@@FBTENN Drives me mad that people forget how insanely brilliant Rooney was (and so unselfish as a player) for about 5 years in his prime.
World class for me is the ability to turn a game on it head and Beckham did that consistently for club and country. Souness wishes he had a tenth of his technical ability.
This made me cry, how we could use someone like Becks 👍 right now 😢 💔
Zlatan summarized it. Beckham had the streets then. Now also. Besides everything, he is a treble winner and was a world class player. Came second in the Ballon D Or race.
It's an outrage that he never won it.
Scandalous how Rivaldo won.
@@Theboxingobserver Rivaldo way good than David
@@senzomthimkhulu-1992 in 99? Put the crack pope down he won the treble and had 20+ assists and goals. He was the best MF on the planet period.
Piss off Souness. BECKHAM 7 FOREVER! GOAT

These two have contributed to why Man Utd’s number 7 has so much weight to it. Classy players, both of them in different ways.

There is only one David Beckham! Let's sing it every 7th minute from now on 🔥
these kind of videos are exactly what is missing on the net. keep up the good work. you have found your ladder to success.
Damn, someone needs to make sure Becks sees this. Utter quality. Well done, Same and the team.
I still remember getting the new Predator boots for Xmas as a kid and not being able to wait to get outside and take free kicks in them with my mates. I feel sorry for newer United fans not having players nowadays that gave you that longing to be a United player as much as Beckham did for my generation.

Greatest player no way Ronaldo, Rooney,Scholes,Best, Charlton all were better
Of our great number 7s it's Cantona ( the King ) Robson and then Becks, all world class all worthy of the jersey and the praise.
"the finest striker of a football ever" doesn't mean that you're world class
@@Chief_Brody no but being called David Beckham means you were world class, end of.
@@Bdoc76 lol OK fanboi

Love this, Sam! This is probably your best video yet 👌 I loved David Beckham, he was one of my childhood heroes.
The most underrated player in utd history for me is Norman Whiteside a deep dive on him would be awesome
Still the youngest player ever to score in the FA Cup final 40 years later.
quality editing for this i can’t lie felt so professional
I supported United because of Beckham, was gifted a poster of him when I was a child and I was so happy to hang it on my wall, besides all wallpaper background in my computers as well. A real childhood hero for me.

People forget he was in the galactico squad with zidane ronaldo roberto carlos,etc most underrated footballer ever,because of his pretty boy image 🤍🖤❤
Never got to see him real time, but seeing match replays, his game really is a thing of brilliance
Fabulous videos again Sam, great production, slick editing, and score, all round, wonderful vid, for our younger fans to see

As an American kid who grew up playing during this time I loved Beckham. Every team wants a guy who can put it where you need it.
Top bins Sam, this channel is the Beckham of content creation, world class smashed it dude ❤

PS.. Salah isn't a winger, he's a wide forward.
No player like David Beckham will ever be in the world of football again. He was in another level and from another planet like Messi.

Please do a video on John Terry. Had a great appreciation on him when he was playing for Chelsea and England.
He ran his socks off every minute of every game. Legend at a club of legends.
I think Souness forgot that Beckham make it further in the world cup and european championship than Gramme ever did. Also Beckham was very fit and never got injured. The amount of running he did per game was great
Hanson. Cant win with kids. Souness Becks not world class ?? Liverpool haters are gonna hate. Beckham. One of the best UTD players. EVER
"There's only one David Beckham"-to the legend🙌
You are doing incredble work for the United fanbase. Appreciate it!
Scholes is my no1, but Becks is close behind. Absolute class and those right foot crosses are as beautiful and perfect as football gets.
Great video Sam! Thanks for the best channel for Man Utd fans by far.
Imo i think Beckham was world class. I mean his passing, crossing, free kicks etc were incredible nit forgetting his goals & assists & the Fact he had great stamina aswell. Far as im concerned he should've won the Ballon D'or when we won the treble
Unbelievable video. Thanks Sam! I appreciate all the time and energy you and the team put into videos like this. Keep em coming

What was that what Souness said “put your medals on the table”? Pretty sure he wouldn’t say that to Becks when he’s saying he wasn’t world class.
That video definitely lived up to the hype! Amazing job, Sam and everyone.
As for Becks - nothing more to add, brilliant player and character. Love him to bits!
Outstanding Video Sam - this channel is so underrated!!
Gordon Strachan was also a great crosser...many young people these days never get to see him play
Liverpool fan here. Souness is off his head: there's only one David Beckham.
Every stats and accolades screams world class. Actually seeing him play confirms it.
Really top tier stuff, Sam. Keep them coming! The hard work you put in is showing.. keep it up!
Nice work. Becks will always be a legend for MUFC and is a football legend. 👍
I think a lot of people forget how good he was purely because of his off field coverage. Was and always will be very very good
My childhood hero. Thanks for this great video.
My idol growing up,hes a legend. Wish he'd have stayed longer if not forever
Free Kick. Assist. Playmaker. World Class. One and only Beckham
Fantastic video. So, so true. About time we revisited Becks as it really felt like he suffered massively due to his public persona back in the day. Souness is the exact sort of proper football bloke who would come out with that nonsense - how dare he be pretty, adored around the world AND be an elite footballer.
Brilliant video Sam.. Glad to see Becks getting some of the credit he rightly deserves ! 🇾🇪
Legendary little documentary on a legend. Big up and respect
So many people don't seem to know or accept just how good Beckham was...he should have easily won that Balon D'or over Rivaldo.
I have never forgot about Beckham never seen a better crosser of a ball till this day
Brilliant video, David Beckham is without a doubt your favourite players favourite player! The way he handled his business on the pitch and the way he has set his life up off it, too
The video the world needs to see. Nice one Sam

6:06 Add Paul Scholes
Beckham was the reason his teams the won. As important a player to any team as Messi and Ronaldo.
Becks was the most underrated Footballer on the planet at one time, and should have won the Ballon D'or in 99, instead of Rivaldo!
Beckham was a legit legend probably would worth like 300 million on today's market if not more
Yea, when I think of great players from that era I would usually think of Keane, Giggs and Scholes... but it's just because I often forget about Beckham.
But if I do happen to remember him then he would absolutely be up there too, If you were picking a best 11 you'd be a fool not to include him.
I think he gets forgotten partly because he didn't end his career at United, and partly because he was a celebrity.
Really great video!
Beckham was one of the hardest working players of all time
Could you please do a documentary on Manchester United History from Netwon Heath to Ferguson era to our downfall and how we got there but also how we are a sleeping giant.
i miss Becks :( those crosses were world class.
Amazing video man!!!
It was easy to forget about Becks because even after his departure, Manchester United continued to dominate the league. It's easier to miss him now that things aren't going too well.
@@justinfoo5628 United didn’t win the league until 2007 let alone dominate it
There still hasn't been anyone who can consistently whip a cross like him...
Great video I was devastated when he left, and for me, he is a legend and undoubtedly worldclass. Ronaldo filled his boots pretty quickly, so in a way he was never really missed. Is that maybe why he doesn't rank higher for some fans and pundits?
