Brand Beckham got to the point where it actually felt really weird to see him on the pitch, playing our sport. I got freaked out watching PSG vs Barcelona - "Holy crap I forgot he was a footballer". He was world class and an incredible crosser/set piece taker. He's not at the immortal level of Messi and Ronaldo though, which was confirmed when he ran off to America.
As a person though, he's absolutely mint. He's a stylish motherfucker and a nice guy! He'll get his knighthood soon.
