I don't really care for football either, but the name rings a bell. Isn't he the guy who had the really funny and innacurate bronze statue made in his questionable honour?
You're not wrong btw. Ronaldo and Beckham both had shitty bronze statues done. But Beckham's was a prank played on him, inspired by Ronaldo's statue.
No, that's Ronaldo. Around 20 years ago Beckham was one of the most famous people in the world
Yeah, there's literally a movie about worshipping his athletic prowess.
Aah. Well see then I know at least three footballers - Zlatan Ibrahimovic was really big here in Sweden.
If his heyday was 20 years ago it's no wonder I don't know much about him. I was like 9, and lived out in the middle of nowhere. I had no friends, so I spent my days reading books and plonking away in QBASIC on my old Windows 98 machine. There was a lot of Populous 3, RollerCoaster Tycoon, and The Sims involved as well.
Then we're of the same age. On my 9th birthday all the boys had "the beckham haircut". It makes sense that you managed to not know of him if you lived in the middle of nowhere, I can promise you that if you had lived in a city you wouldn't have had a chance of not knowing who he is.
