David Beckham 2009 Calendar. Arguably the biggest name in world football, not only are the England captain's crosses and free-kicks incomparable, his work-rate is second to none. First capped at 21 by Glenn Hoddle against Moldova in 1996, he was named as England's captain for the first time by caretaker Coach Peter Taylor for a friendly in Italy. His stunning free-kick against Greece at Old Trafford took Sven-Goran Eriksson's team through to the 2002 World Cup Finals and will remain one of the greatest moments in England's history. He now plays for and captains Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy in the US in a bid to improve the popularity of the sport. This wonderful David Beckham 2009 Calendar will make an excellent gift for any Beckham fan!
