Yes -- David Beckham is one of the world’s most recognised sportsmen. Years of success on the field at Manchester United combined with a high-profile lifestyle off it had ensured him a rare level of wealth and celebrity even before he became part of Real Madrid’s galácticos project in 2003.
More than anything, however, Beckham is a dedicated professional, who takes immense pride from his role as England captain. His talent with a football was evident from an early age: as a boy he won a Bobby Charlton Soccer Schools National Skills competition and before long he had signed up for his favourite team, Manchester United.

Why wouldn't he be. Plus, the headband & nailpolish industries would lose a staunch supporter if he passed. I bet they'd do anything to keep him alive. Plus, he's hot, would suck if I couldn't see him in the milk mustache commercials anymore :(
