Becks had pure ice in his veins too, dude was good for the clutch shot or pass...
I havnt got time for this debate right now lol Im having to do some admin work from home, we had this a while ago so Im gonna copy and paste my reply back then...
Its the popular thing to say Beckham is overrated, yes his celebrity overshadows him at times...
But he is one of the best crossers (allow putting a T in front of the C haters) and long ball passes of all time... He created a new freekick technique and came up with BIG moments for club and country, such as scoring the last second free kick against Greece to take England to the World Cup in 2001...
Also after he was hated by the whole world for getting sent off against Argentina 1998 he went on had the best season of his life in 1999, winning the fans back and it was because of Beckham that we even won the CL that year, I think he racked up double figures in assists just in the CL (two of them were to Teddy and Ole in the final)... Also I think he won UEFA player of the year in 1999 and was second in the Ballon d'or to Rivaldo...
