David Beckham, former England captain retired in May, 2013. The great midfield player made his first appearance in the match between England and Moldova in 1996. Since then, he has made 115 appearances for England and 394 for Manchester United, winning six Premier League titles (英超联赛冠军) and the Champions League (欧冠联赛). He was captain of England football team from 2000 to 2006. He made his 115th and final England appearance in a 3 : 0 win over Belarus in 2009.
Including PSG's (巴黎圣日尔曼的) recent Ligue 1 title (法甲联赛冠军),Beckham won 19 trophies in a 20 一 year playing career. And he is the first English player to win championships in four countries.
He said in his retirement statement, "To this day, one of my proudest achievements is captaining my country. I knew every time I wore the Three Lions Shirt, I was not only a great player, but also I was standing for every fan that cared most about their country."
"I wouldn't have achieved what I have done today without my family. I'm grateful for my parents' sacrifice, which made me realise my dreams. I owe everything to Victoria and the kids, who have given me the inspiration and support to play at the highest level for such a long period."
"I want to thank all my teammates, the great managers that I had the pleasure of learning from. I also want to thank the fans who have all supported me and given me the strength to succeed."
"Nothing will ever completely replace playing the game I love, however I feel like starting a new adventure and I'm very excited about what lies ahead. I'm very fortunate throughout my career and now I feel it's my time to give back."
