It is too bad that Beckhams celebrity and lifestyle has distracted from his football talent. He is was in his prime one of the greatest players in the world and one of the greatest set piece takers of all time.
And those who say that all he can do is cross, take free kicks and corners is kind of like saying all a basketball player can do it shoot good jump shots.
Yes he has a skill set directed towards one area but he was so good at it and the skills he has are like 70% of what a midfield player should be doing anyways.
Many teams were made better by his set piece ability and in his prime he was also very good in open play.
