Soccer Icon David Beckham’s bid to become the first England player to represent his country in four world cups has ended in tears. His dream of achieving this goal was left shattered along with his Achilles tendon leaving him visibly upset both mentally and physically as he was carried off on a stretcher for his current side AC Milan in the 1 -0 victory against Chievo Verona. The time scale of recovery from this particular injury is about seven to nine months leaving him no chance of making the finals. In the twilight of his profession questions have been raised whether this is indeed the end of his career. But in typical Beckham fashion his mood was defiant that he will yet return and prosper to help aid the L.A. Galaxy and the bid to raise the profile of the game in this country.
Despite the disappointment David Beckham has had a tremendous career spanning over 15years at the highest levels with some of Europe’s elite clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and A.C. Milan. His attitude and determination to bounce back from the disappointments he has had to again excel in soccer had lead many to admire and laud praise on the ultimate professional and the iconic figure he is to everyone in the game.
