Very decent footballer. Among the best we’ve ever seen with a stationary ball. Beyond that I don’t have a clue why anyone is interested in him. But that’s celebrity culture, I guess.

Not at all. A self publicist who has nothing to offer.

I’ve a lot of respect for Beckham for the way he rode out the abuse he received after France 98, just kept his head down and never complained until his redemption with the free kick against Greece a few years later. Multi, multi millionaire but has always come across as fairly down to earth

Isn’t this the guy who expected a knighthood after doing some very limited charity work?
He benefited hugely from the media keeping his profile in the public view, and he is doing the same now with this documentary he has produced to try to garner further celebrity.
I have no respect for him and he’s spoiled the memory of his footballing achievement.
A bit unkind. Unlike many “celebs”, he queued all night with the hoi polloi at the late Queen’s lying in state, earning the affection and respect of those around him in the process.

Like Beckham they could be boring, yet also strangely charming.
“Charmingly boring”. That’s going in my eHarmony profile.

He’s always been a lot better at self-promotion than he ever was at football.

I’m golden boy handsome (at age 70!!!!!!),unathletic,black and possess a 160+ IQ . Beckham was likely an overrated footballer,but despite his handsome dimness,he knew enough to brand himself and become,for a time,the world’s most famous athlete .Despite his posh (and POSH) seems a good ol’ lad with whom one can enjoy a lager or two.

I think as a footballer he’s slightly overrated. He’s not in the pantheon of all time Greats, but then again who is.
As a decent person, 25yrs married good family fella and much else as someone who had influence in just the way he conducted himself he deserves respect. The antithesis of a Tate or Fox.
