After graduating from Manchester United’s youth academy, Beckham proceeded to enjoy a hugely successful spell at Old Trafford, which included him winning six league titles and the Champions League, with the latter triumph coming as part of the treble in 1999.

Beckham then signed for Real Madrid in 2003 before later having spells at LA Galaxy, AC Milan (whom he joined twice on loan) and Paris Saint-Germain.
