    Yeah would be interesting to see where he fits in for post 1990 in terms of greatest players. Would he make top 30?

    Nobody could ever really bend it like Beckham due to the fact they weren't Beckham.

    Thought he could've done a lot better in the wife department.

    Depends what you're looking for really. It's hard to compare him to anyone else. He's unique.

    An absolute icon.

    He's under-appreciated as well. Ironically, he's the epitome of where hard work will take you because he's not as naturally talented as some of his peers, but you don't play for Manchester United, Real Madrid and AC Milan, as well as captain your country, unless you're a bit good.

    And it was a complete nonsense that Craig fucking Bellamy made the Team GB squad and Beckham didn't.

    I dont even think it matters. Plenty of players who have more complete games. Just because he is a top crosser doesnt mean all of a sudden he is a great of his era IMO. Like in basketball there are plenty who have a similar one sided game but go nowhere being ann atg on the back of their performances alone.

    This tbh. He has worked for absolutely everything he can do, and it's apparent. His absolute love for the game is obvious, and he is a huge role model to people, for his immense effort, if nothing else.

    It's a lot more worth while to have more varied skill sets on a faster moving game with half the players on the go on a relatively tiny playing surface

    Don't think bb is the best sport compare a footballer to by a long way

    Yeah I know. I just wanted to know where you guys would rate him both in terms of a positional rank and a overall rank comparing him to only those in the modern era.

    Messi
    Cristiano Ronaldo
    Casillas
    Buffon
    Cannavaro
    Zidane

    Figo
    Matthaus
    Roberto Carlos
    Romario
    Kahn
    Schmeichel
    Raul
    Eto'o
    Ibrahimovic
