Overview

The Last Word on David Beckham

There is only one David Beckham — and it's not always the one you read about in the newspapers and magazines or see in the movies. From humble East End London beginnings, the boy with prodigious soccer skills grew up to be one of the most gifted athletes of his generation as well as a sex symbol and fashion icon. Along the way he married Spice Girl Victoria "Posh" Adams, and together they inhabit a celebrity whirlwind of Diana-esque proportions. In Both Feet on the Ground, David talks candidly about the perils of fame (his wife and son were the targets of a notorious kidnapping plot and he is the subject of almost daily tabloid rumors); the struggle to balance his roles as a devoted husband and besotted father with his globetrotting existence as an international soccer star; the behind-the-scenes stories of his most memorable and heartbreaking (if only he could retake that infamous penalty kick against Portugal in Euro 2004) career moments; the controversy surrounding his first year at Real Madrid after his $41 million transfer from Manchester United, the storied English team he joined as a teenager and led for more than a decade; and, finally, his love of America, where he plans to start a soccer school and perhaps, one day, even play professionally.

Both Feet on the Ground is David Beckham's own extraordinary story, told by the man who knows him best — David Beckham.

Editorial Reviews

Sports Illustrated
“Smashing. . .Beckham is a magnet for controversy”
VOYA
Oh, soccer! The world loves you. But in the United States, the sport takes a lowly backseat to football, basketball, baseball, and, well, any other televised game. Despite David Beckham being the world's most popular soccer player-and having a sweeping pass so sweet it makes grown men weep-this reviewer doubts that many Americans could pick him out of a police lineup. But last year's sleeper film Bend it Like Beckham, his marriage to Spice Girl Posh Spice, and his $41 million trade to Spanish heavyweight Real Madrid might have increased his stateside profile somewhat. Beckham and coauthor Watt write with a conversational ease about his role in the beautiful game, chronicling his career from talented youngster to professional athlete on a global market. Each chapter drops a lot of names and references many games, which will delight fans but could be a bit off-putting to those unfamiliar with soccer history. The book's length might be prohibitive as well. Soccer-loving teens, however, will relish the first-person storytelling. The photos are top notch, showing the scrawny boy who became a father, husband, and world-renowned celebrity.

—Travis Fristoe
School Library Journal
Adult/High School-The legendary soccer player and cultural icon takes readers on a tour of his life, from the streets of Chingford, England, to his role as star player on the world's most famous professional soccer team, with all the struggles and stadiums, and daring exploits, in between. As the inspiration for the hit movie Bend It Like Beckham, the subject of endless tabloid fodder, and the husband of a former Spice Girl, Beckham has captured the minds and hearts of not only the people of his native country, but of those around the world as well. Dozens of excellent-quality, black-and-white and color photos are included, about half of which have appeared elsewhere. This book is sure to be wildly popular with teens.-James O.

Meet the Author

David Beckham, who currently plays for Real Madrid, is the soccer world's biggest star.

First Chapter

Beckham
Both Feet on the Ground: An Autobiography

Chapter One

Murdering the Flowerbeds


'Mrs Beckham? Can David come and have a
game in the park?'

I'm sure Mum could dig it out of the pile: that first video of me in action. There I am, David Robert Joseph Beckham, aged three, wearing the new Manchester United uniform Dad had bought me for Christmas, playing soccer in the front room of our house in Chingford. Twenty-five years on, and Victoria could have filmed me having a kickabout this morning with Brooklyn before I left for training. For all that so much has happened during my life -- and the shirt I'm wearing now is a different color -- some things haven't really changed at all.

As a father watching my own sons growing up, I get an idea of what I must have been like as a boy; and reminders, as well, of what Dad was like with me. As soon as I could walk, he made sure I had a ball to kick. Maybe I didn't even wait for a ball. I remember when Brooklyn had only just got the hang of standing up. We were messing around together one afternoon after training. For some reason there was a tin of baked beans on the floor of the kitchen and, before I realized it, he'd taken a couple of unsteady steps towards it and kicked the thing as hard as you like. Frightening really: you could fracture a metatarsal doing that. Even as I was hugging him, I couldn't help laughing. That must have been me.

It's just there, wired into the genes. Look at Brooklyn: he always wants to be playing soccer, running, kicking, diving about. And he's already listening, like he's ready to learn. By the time he was three and a half, if I rolled the ball to him and told him to stop it, he'd trap it by putting his foot on it. Then he'd take a step back and line himself up before kicking it back to me. He's also got a great sense of balance. We were in New York when Brooklyn was about two and a half, and I remember us coming out of a restaurant and walking down some steps. He was standing, facing up towards Victoria and I, his toes on one step and his heels rocking back over the next. This guy must have been watching from inside the restaurant, because suddenly he came running out and asked us how old our son was. When I told him, he explained he was a child psychologist and that for Brooklyn to be able to balance himself over the step like that was amazing for a boy of his age.

It's a little too early to tell with my younger boy, Romeo, but Brooklyn has got a real confidence that comes from his energy, his strength, and his sense of coordination. He's been whizzing around on two-wheeled scooters -- I mean flying -- for years already. He's got a belief in himself, physically, that I know I had as well. When I was a boy, I only ever felt really sure of myself when I was playing soccer. In fact I'd still say that about me now, although Victoria has given me confidence in myself in all sorts of other ways. I know she'll do the same for Brooklyn and Romeo too.

For all that father and son have in common, Brooklyn and I are very different. By the time I was his age, I was already telling anyone who would listen: 'I'm going to play soccer for Manchester United. 'He says he wants to be a soccer player like Daddy, but United? We haven't heard that out of him yet. Brooklyn's a really strong, well-built boy. Me, though, I was always skinny. However much I ate it never made any difference while I was growing up. When I was playing soccer, I must have seemed even smaller because, if I wasn't with my dad and his mates, I was over at Chase Lane Park, just round the corner from the house, playing with boys twice my age. I don't know if it was because I was good or because they could kick me up in the air and I'd come back for more, but they always turned up on the doorstep after school:

'Mrs Beckham? Can David come and have a game in the park?'

I spent a lot of time in Chase Lane Park. If I wasn't there with the bigger boys like Alan Smith, who lived two doors away on our road, I'd be there with my dad. We'd started by kicking a ball about in the back garden but I was murdering the flowerbeds so, after he got in from his job as a heating engineer, we'd go to the park together and just practice and practice for hours on end. All the strengths in my game are the ones Dad taught me in the park twenty years ago: we'd work on touch and striking the ball properly until it was too dark to see. He'd kick the ball up in the air as high as he could and get me to control it. Then it would be kicking it with each foot, making sure I was doing it right. It was great, even if he did drive me mad sometimes. 'Why can't you just go in goal and let me take shots at you?' I'd be thinking. I suppose you could say he was pushing me along. You'd also have to say, though, that it was all I wanted to do and I was lucky Dad was so willing to do it with me.

My dad, Ted, played himself for a local team called King fisher in the Forest and District League ...

    Best book I've ever laid my eyes on! There's pictures!

    As one of the most recognizable faces in the world, David Beckham shares the story of his life in BECKHAM: BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND. From his remarkable talent as a small school boy playing soccer to playing with a multimillion dollar contract with Manchester United, David has no bars held. he wants you to know that he's just a simple man with a complicated life. This book is remarkable.

    David Beckham, born in Leytonstone, England, had a knack for the national sport from the time he was born. Though he was small, he never let that get in the way of achieving his dream. At age 16, he signed a developmental deal with Manchester United and by the time he was in his 20's, he was already a household name. He faced the tribulations of having a public relationship with Spice Girl Victoria Adams, who he eventually married and had 3 children with, and the backlash of under performing for fans worldwide. His publicized feud with Manchester United manager Ferguson, which led to his Real Madrid transfer, was more than what the public made it to be. David shows what the life of a world renowned public figure is and how on the inside, they are just regular people.

    Athlete, celebrity, sex idol and fashion icon. David Beckham has done it all. If a great read about the life of a public figure is what you would like, BECKHAM: BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND is for you. He's just a regular guy with an irregular life. Plus, he's not bad to look at. smileyface.

    Beckham: Both Feet on the Ground

    I thought the book was awesome. It kind of dragged some stuff on an on, but overall I thought the book was great. I loved how much detail he included about his games and the face taht he not only talked about his games he talked about the players, coaches, and his family. You could really feel what he was feeling at each given point in time even if if was a while ago. Plus for the soccer players that read this book you can totally understand some of the stuff he is talking about, how a victory feels, how a tie feels, and even worse how a loss feels. In the book you could really tell how much he cares about his family, parents, and the game, well especially the game. Teh book was a lot more then I expected I didn't think that he would go into that much detail and I was sure that he wouldn't talk about his family that much. I loved the fact that the book started from when he was very young and just starting out playing soccer. I also really liked the fact that the book showed pictures of each team the he played for starting when he was very young. The pictures of his family, and his wife and kids were also really great. His kids are adorable.

    Both Feet on the Ground

    Both Feet on the Ground Both Feet on the Ground is an autobiography written by soccer star David Beckham. David Beckham is an internationally known soccer star. In Both Feet on the Ground Beckham takes the reader through the story of his life. David Beckham is one of the most recognizable athletes in the world. Beckham is not only a soccer star he is also a fashion idol. He was born in East London. He grew up as a fan of Manchester United. Beckham¿s talent was discovered at an early age. At sixteen years he signed a professional contract with Manchester United. Beckham married ¿Posh¿ Spice. This marriage furthered Beckham¿s popularity. Both Feet on the Ground explains the ups and downs of his career: from t from he joy of scoring his first goal for Manchester United, to the pain of being pestered daily about his life by the English and Spanish Press. I would recommend this book to anyone who is passionate about Soccer. If you are interested in the sport, then you will be very interested in Both Feet on the Ground. I found this book very exciting. The moment I started reading I became hooked. Beckham¿s life makes for a great read.

    There is more to Beckham than just being able to bend it!

    I enjoyed this read, mainly because of how I discovered that David can turn his life into such an interesting read. In depth look at big matches that he remembers, from when he was a young boy playing for his local club, to playing for England, will have the reader turning the pages. There is enough drama, both on and off the field, and the one thing that makes the book so enjoyable is the fact how articulate David's writing is. The emotion is practically tangible. Highly Recommend.

    Simply Amazing

    I've been a long time Becks fan and this book will NOT dissapoint. He is very respectful to all the people in his life whether there was ever a conflict with them or not. Even during his falling out with Sir Alex, he stepped up and took responsibility. The book is truthful and gives a great insight on soccer's most famous star. He is far from conceited and keeps his focus on his game. The other reviewer who gave this book one star obviously doesn't appreciate the beauty of the game and should read more about the players/the game. This book was well worth every minute i read it. And, Becks is absoultely gorgeous. <3

    very thoughtful to others

    In this book, David Beckham writes about his life, how he come to acheive the of the things he loves so dearly, soccer. It's amazing to read what he's gone through in life, and its not always just about playing soccer. He talks about his teammates, whether for Manchester United, or Real Madrid, like they're his brothers, and all of them together make the team what it is. He talks so sweetly about his wife, and his kids, and the best part of the book is that he respects EACH AND EVERYONE in that book, whether he had a good/bad relation with them. That just shows you what kind of a person he is, honest, and kind. He feels for people, for situations, and he's anything but conceited. And he's just gorgeous.. :) I definitely recommed it, specially if you're a soccer fan like me.

    This book is a shining star.

    Anyone who enjoys soccer, David Beckham, or just excellent biographies will really enjoy this one. The life of David Beckham is basically obscured by his soccer abilities, and this book dives deep to reveal the real David Beckham. This is really well written and is bound to become a book which you cannot put down. AWESOME
