Product Description
Product Description
A unique celebration of footballing hero David Beckham, by his father.
Book Description
David Beckham is both a brilliant footballer and a global icon. The slightest story about his life generates huge media coverage, but those truly close to him have never given their side of his incredible journey - until now. Ted Beckham's story is the ultimate dream of every father who has kicked a football with his son. A lifelong Manchester United supporter, Ted has seen his son David captain both his beloved Reds and England, as well as becoming an inspiration for a generation along the way. Even David Beckham was once an ordinary kid dreaming of making a living out of football, and in this celebratory book Ted Beckham lovingly charts what happened from David's birth to his move to Real Madrid. This book is special not just because of Ted's role as the father of a hero, but because Ted has given exclusive access to all the family photo albums and the unparalleled collection of memorabilia he has amassed during David's career. The book features 300 exclusive images to complement the text, giving a side to David that has never been seen before. David Beckham: My Son will delight his fans, giving a fascinating insight into the early life of David, his ambition and determination to succeed as well as his father's pride and joy as he watched him grow into a great footballer.

This is a beautiful book. A father's story together with family photos which really provide an insight into David Beckham's life and how he came to be what he is today. Perfect for Beckham fans and budding young footballers.

Cute reading really for all Beck fans. A real insight to the famous footballer and family members.
However, I think the market for Beckham is a little saturated already....

Dreadful and Not Worthy of the Paper
20 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
This is David Beckhams Dad, sharing his recollections of David as a youngster and then from Manchester United to signing with Real Madrid. You get no real insight into the family life, no insights into David's thoughts or struggles. All you really get is a bunch of family pics with some loose narration. Seems to be a money-spinner really or maybe a parent trying to put something worthwhile together but out of his dept. Unfortunately, this book is as bad as it gets.Ted comes across as an honest, dutiful father but certainly not a writer. (I gave it 2 stars for the effort).
