In June 2003, Queen Elizabeth II gave David Beckham an OBE. In January 2005, David Beckham became a UNICEF ambassador.
When he moved from Manchester United F.C. to Real Madrid in 2003, he became the highest paid footballer in the world (this has long since been surpassed).
Early life
David Beckham was born at Whipps Cross University Hospital in London, England.[6] He was the son of Ted and Sandra Georgina West.[7] He grew up in the Manchester football youth system along with Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Phil Neville, Gary Neville, and Paul Scholes who all turned out to be famous footballers. Beckham’s maternal grandfather was Jewish,[8] and he describes himself as "half-Jewish",[9] and wrote in his autobiography "I've probably had more contact with Judaism than with any other religion".[10]
Career
Manchester United
From 1992 through 2003, he played for Manchester United in the Premier League.
Real Madrid
After leaving Manchester United, he signed a four-year contract with Real Madrid which ended in June 2007.

From 2007 to 2012, he played for LA Galaxy in the United States. He was loaned out to AC Milan of Italy for the 2008 - 2009 and the 2009 - 2010 seasons before joining the Galaxy again.

He played for Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 until the end of the 2012/13 season. After the season ended, he retired.

Personal life
David Beckham's wife is singer Victoria Beckham. Some people call her Posh Spice because she was a member of the Spice Girls.
