David Beckham was born in Leytonstone London, England on May 2, 1975. He has 2 sisters. His dad is David Edward Beckham and his mother is Sandra West. He was married on July 4, 1999 to a famous pop singer from the popular Spice Girls named Victoria.

David Beckham is best known as a soccer player. He began playing professionally at the age of 21. That year, he made one of the longest field goals! He’s talented because he got a scholarship to play on Manchester United F.C.. David is also an actor and a model as well as owning his own underwear company and cologne company.

When he was 31, David started to make a small soccer club in Brazil to help poor children play soccer. He also held a free soccer camp in Brazil for children 5 - 15 years old. David is also a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF and he donates money to charity. David is my hero because he is a good role model when he uses his fame and money to make the world a better place.
