May 2, 2014

David Beckham, a soccer player, was born on May 2, 1975, in London, England. He played for Manchester United in 1991. He was a promising young player alongside Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers, and was given the number 10 jersey in the 1996-97 season. He married Victoria, a member of the Spice Girls, in January 1998, and their first son, Brooklyn, was born in March 1999. Around this time, he faced numerous problems, including being sent off in games and missing practice sessions, leading to criticism that his wife had a negative influence on him. However, from the 1999-2000 season onward, he contributed to the team's consecutive championships and was awarded an OBE in June 2003. In 2003, he transferred to Real Madrid in Spain, where he continued to play as a right-wing midfielder and provided assists for the team. He also served as captain of the England national team from 2000 to the 2006 FIFA World Cup. From 2007 to 2012, he signed with the Los Angeles Galaxy and played as a midfielder. He joined Paris Saint-Germain FC in 2013 and retired after a five-month contract.

In his personal life, following Brooklyn, he had a second son, Romeo, in 2002, a third son, Cruz, in 2005, and a daughter, Harper Seven, in 2011. Thanks to Victoria's influence, he has also gained attention as a fashion icon and is currently active as a model. His second son, Romeo, has also appeared in a Burberry advertising campaign. In 2012, he debuted his own underwear collection for H&M, "David Beckham Bodywear at H&M." He has gained immense popularity in Japan since the 2002 Japan-Korea World Cup, and his soft mohawk hairstyle, nicknamed "Beckham Hair," became a huge trend.
