Manchester United legend David Beckham is beyond happy after finally securing a knighthood, his friend has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the prestigious honour means more than the millions in the bank for the Inter Miami owner, and he is so happy that his mother got to see him earn it.
The friend added that as a genuine and devoted royalist, it means a lot more to Beckham than his global fame, medals and trophies.
His words, “Quite simply, this is the ultimate accolade for David. Forget the medals, the trophies, the global fame and the millions in the bank. As a genuine and devoted royalist, this means more to him than anything. It is his lifetime’s work – and he’s still only 50. People don’t seem to realise how hard David works.
His determination and work ethic is second to none. Despite all the setbacks, he knew he could turn things around and prove people wrong. And he’s done it. His family and friends are incredibly proud, and David himself is beyond happy. After all these years, he’s still a bit of a mum’s boy and is so thrilled his mum Sandra gets to see this. It is a huge moment in the Beckham clan.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
