Last week, David Beckham reached the century mark for representing England for a soccer friendly match versus France. It is a remarkable achievement and Beckham became only the 8th man in English history to have won 100 caps. And for that, the team mates reportedly gave him a 32GB iPod engraved with the England team emblem, his name and the 100 caps achievement. I look up to David Beckham not because he's rich and famous. It's because how he went through his days well before he was rich and famous.
From his wonder goal from midfield against Southampton to his red card dismissal at the 1998 World Cup game versus Argentina to the dissing and abuse he endured from the fans for being the stupid boy in "10 Brave Lions, 1 Stupid Boy" to his 2 corner kicks which led to 2 goals in injury time which brought the European Cup back to Old Trafford in 1999 to him becoming England's captain to his freekick which won the game that qualified England for the 2006 World Cup to his dismissal from the Real Madrid squad for signing a contract with L.A. Galaxy while he is still attached to Real Madrid to him winning back his place in the team after his attitude changed the manager's mind, who had earlier stated that David Beckham will not play another game for Real Madrid to his achievement today. Congrats buddy.
