David Beckham: “I never wanted to be famous”


Imagine a world without David Beckam. It makes us shudder just thinking about it. However, we could all be living a Becks-less existence because the as the man himself reveals, he never intended to become a celebrity.
“I never wanted to be famous,” David tells Men’s Health. “I was never interested in anything else apart from becoming a footballer.”
We’re very sad for the people living a parallel universe where David never met and married Victoria, and hence become a huge celebrity/sex symbol.
The delicious David also admits that he no plans to retire from playing football just yet. Which is fairly obviously as he’s just renewed his contract with his team LA Galaxy. However, David confesses that as he’s getting older he’s had to change the way he plays.

“I know what my limits are, what I can achieve and which passes I can play,” says Becks. “So that’s been my game over the last few years: I have adapted to my age, different situations and the position that I’m playing in.

“I still love playing; I still love being part of a team. Right now I’m not even thinking about retiring.”

This is good news – we’ve still got a few more years of a hot, sweaty David stripping off his football shirt on the pitch to look forward to. And hoorah for that!
