After 21 years of playing football, David Beckham has announced his
retirement at the age of 38. The footballer who is worth about $220million,
captained 115 games for England, and played for Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA
Galaxy, AC Milan and PSG. He's
the only English player to win a league title in four different
countries. In a statement Beckham said:
"I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the
highest level. I want to thank all my team-mates,
the great managers that I had the pleasure of learning from. I also want
to thank the fans who have all supported me and given me the strength
to succeed. Nothing
will ever completely replace playing the game I love, however I feel
like I'm starting a new adventure and I'm genuinely excited about what
lies ahead. I'm fortunate to have been given many opportunities
throughout my career and now I feel it's my time to give back.'
He will now work as a sports ambassador.
