Beckham is one of the most underrated players ever, mostly because of his celebrity. Unique striking technique that still no one has replicated. Next-level accuracy and precision. Came 2nd in the Ballon D'or (best player in the world award) in 1999 (many people think he was robbed) after being the star player in Man Utd's historic treble-winning campaign (won the Premier League, FA Cup & Champions League). This was the season after he got sent off at the World Cup, when he was enduring all the crazy abuse from fans & media in England. An all-time response to adversity.

No. That is not a serious characterization of his impact on football. That can only come from a person who doesn't know the game. Yes, he was a player of substance in the English team of the day. The English team was, on the other hand, a mediocre team. So he was a proper player on a mediocre team. He was not a top, top, player of the time and has never been considered as one. He was respected by other teams but he was certainly not a Zidane or Henry. The real problem with this is that the English team always overestimate themselves. In their own minds they think they are a top team but they just aren't. Haven't been for decades. The whole world knows it but them. As a swede I know they are better than my team over decades but I also know with confidence that the English team are always worse than the likes of Germany, France and Brazil.

His best mates say he was an icon off the ground but on the ground he'd work like a labourer. As a player he was clinical for Manchester United. Never missed any games because he was a star or something. And at one point in the documentary he says Zineddin Zidane (arguably the greatest player of his generation) came up to him after a defeat against Man Utd and said he should join Real Madrid. He did move to Real Madrid eventually, which only signed the top, TOP players from all over the world. So he was certainly one of the top players in the world football at one point. And he was a fashion icon too so that makes the story even better: A working class kid, pretty enough to be a fashion icon and yet humble enough to rub shoulders with the best in world football.

I think their opinions as casual football fans is fair. But for those who truly understand football, Beckham was unbelievable. In the 4-4-2 era he is the best RM in the world from 1997 - 2003. He is not a pure winger, but a right side midfielder who was tasked to go up and downs for both attack and defense. He had absolute high work ethic, stamina, and clean tackles as well. But of course, his best attributes are his vision and passing. Absolutely unreal vision and passing. Long pass, crosses, corners+set pieces, through passes, you name it. He can also finishes from outside the box as well when he needs to. Unreal techique. You need to watch his highlight when he is in Manchester United, one of the best midfielder who ever played in the Premier League. Go watch how MU fans regarded him as well. They adored him, not because of his "celebrity status" but because what an insane player he was when Manchester United dominated the Premier League in the 90s to the early 2000s.

​@@cheyezamakelana6518you are absolutely correct. Im a football fan from Argentina and it was so hard to watch this 10min video. So many wrong things.

98/99 season he WAS the best player in the world

[@itzmaash]

back then u had Zidane, Guardiola, Pirlo, Figo, Recoba, Vieira, Ronaldinho Gaucho, Pires...it was way harder to be the best! Beckham played in the golden era of football, the amount of legends back then it was crazy! Kids only know Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar these days.

[@isaacnewton3514]

The whole point of the documentary was about Beckham’s fame transcending Football and becoming a global icon

[@Kez_Needs_Coffee]

Bruuuu this was so painful listening to these discuss football! 😭🤣

[@hibberish7498]

to watch americans talk about football is a different kind of pain

[@Sesh__king_]

He was pure working class..

[@MrJoaoTraquete]

It was all about him and Fergie, he loved Beckham even without the speed and atleticism. Beckham had that right foot and the mindset. Honorable mention for him still being one of the lads

[@kevinmatthew1050]

Documentary was great and Beckham was a hell of a player. Also the Ali G interview with the beckhams is one of the funniest things i have ever seen.

[@TopGooner-yr9tc]

Beckham was so clutch, best freekick taker if my childhood.

[@Cee_H]

When Beckham went to real Madrid he was easily top 3 players in the world Edit: easily top 5 because some people will get butt hurt. But Beckham performances and consistency at the time of his move was top tier and no doubt one of the best in the world.

[@alexgrayafc49]

No the f##k he wasn't LOL Ronaldinho, Henry, nedved there's 3 off the rip he wasn't even top 3 in the Premier league lol he was good but don't CAP

[@alexgrayafc49]

Rivaldo, vieira, Keane, Figo, Zidane, R9 incase u wanted a few more lol

[@Cee_H]

@@alexgrayafc49 well Rivaldo wasn't the best then neither was Henry. They both had left their prime by then and ronaldhino hadn't even entered his prime at the time. Ronaldo R9 and Zidane were the best in the world at the time. So let's not do revisionist history

[@alexgrayafc49]

Mate I'm an arsenal fan Henry was bang in his prime then so ur totally wrong lol

[@timboslice8559]

@@alexgrayafc49 the only players you listed truly better than him were Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane, and Henry the rest were Cap as you say

[@shamkand]

In his time, in the world of footbsll he was it. People get old and other players come, but yes, In his prime he was amazing and a success not only as an athlete but also in business.

[@enriquecardenas8491]

He was in top 5 of the world during his peak definitely, but he is not close to the great ones of all time.

[@goumas11]

You septic-tanks need to watch the Ali G interview posh and becks did, as comedians, you’ll love it

[@sohaibsanaan4139]

Beckham 99 was possibly one of the best in the world

[@Charlie-cu5hg]

Talking about him like he’s James Ward-Prowse

[@Irish.liquorice]

I really enjoyed the documentary! I I’ve met the whole family in person when the kids were a little younger. They seem as exactly like how they are portrayed in the doc. I really like them! Regardless of potential cheating when they were pretty young…at a hard time in their lives. I admire their dedication to their family.

[@Charlie.93]

Beckham was world class, great great player, and was known to be the best crosser amd set peice taker in the world

[@brownbear7489]

Akaash trying too hard to give his opinions while not knowing anything bout him.. calm down broo..

[@dakpatenzin4]

Beckham is an icon who took soccer to the next level, he promoted soccer like no other player could during his era. Beckham is the reason a lot of people Start watching soccer and promoted soccer to so many Asian countries. As a player, he was great as a midfielder but couldn't be called a s the greatest, cause he is not a great dribbler and scorer. In soccer, that's where the fame is. He was iconic, because of the team Manchester United he was part of. He became a soccer icon because of his good looks, style, fashion sense, hair style and Victoria Beckham. For me growing up, David Beckham was an icon, not the greatest soccer player but a soccer icon and first soccer celebrity.

[@seanj9213]

Questioning whether England Captain, Real Madrid, Man Utd and PSG player, is good?

[@richiefr]

6:30 yes the Treble winning 1998-1999 he was the best player so much so that he was supposed to win the Ballon D'or but they gave it to " Rivaldo" not to be confused with "Ronaldo"...

[@TheTrippleTKA]

0:06 him saying that while the whole time I giddyly watched the documentary, I thought to myself why release this now? And I'm like that is a perfect time! With all the Kelce Swift saga, it's the perfect time to show off who was the OG!

[@anmolatwal]

He was the bloody King of the Free Kicks!!! Bend it like Beckham!!
