Beckham: Both Feet on the Ground: An Autobiography
Posted on December 29th, 2009 5 commentsProduct Description
In England, where he spent ten seasons leading his storied club Manchester United and his nation to soccer glory, he is so wildly popular that his countrymen voted him the face they’d most want to see imprinted on their money. (Winston Churchill finished second.) In Japan, where he is worshiped as much for his headline-making fashion trends as for his ability to bend a ball around a wall of defenders, women styled their bikini waxes after the blond mohawk he sported… More >>Beckham: Both Feet on the Ground: An Autobiography

As his life is most of his book is about anything but football. you will find most of his book telling you how beautifull his wife is and how much each of her dresses cost and how beautifull they are.
Sir Alex was right to kick him out of the club, he is nothing but a spoiled brat.
It was total waste of time, Don’t waste yours.
(read fergie’s autobiography. great book!)

It has been many years since this guy stopped worrying about playing soccer, and focused solely in his obligations with sponsors, in posing for photos, etc. He has won absolutely nothing in Real Madrid, a team so engulfed by its millionaire stars that no coach can make it work as an efficient soccer team.
It’s useless to read a book about this narcisist guy.

Becks is an outstanding footballer, no doubt, and a decent story teller (although I really do wonder how much of this bio was actually written by him vs. his co-author). That said, I don’t recommend this bio unless you are a serious Beckham fan, which I am not, or are interested in reading a bio that has a lot of filler. (Keano or Fergie’s bios are better).Sure, there are some well written anecdotes as well as a few insights into the EPL, International Football, celebrity, fatherhood, and Becks’ row with Sir Alex… but then there isn’t a lot of detail in between.
Finally, and perhaps what turned me off most, is that Becks, a Brit, used American spelling and vocab. Maybe there is a UK edition of the book with football instead of soccer, or realise instead of realize?
This book seemed to me to be the first marketing strike in Beckham’s coming invasion of America, not the memoir of one of modern football’s biggest stars I hoped for.
