Amazon.co.uk Review
David Beckham would probably have been a male model had he not discovered his amazing talent for football; at least, that's the impression one gets after flicking through this gorgeous coffee table tome devoted to the striking features of the country's most celebrated and idolised sportsman since George Best.

Beckham: My World is both an autobiography and a photographic portrait of him and his family (that's Mrs Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham and their baby son Brooklyn, in case you didn't know). The Beckhams have been captured on film by renowned photographer Dean Freeman and there are plenty of shots covering all aspects of David's life and career: if you are a fan of his football, you will love the atmospheric snapshots of David proving himself on the field. If you are a fan of his looks, you will be ecstatic over the range of matinee-idol poses Freeman has created. Beckham in the bath, Beckham in bed, Beckham as a father.

David reveals as much of himself in the text as he does in the photos and offers some pretty candid thoughts about the more memorable moments of his life so far, such as the World Cup: "I know I've not always been an angel. There are things I have done that I have regretted but there were times after the world cup when I was treated like a criminal." On Glenn Hoddle: "I never read Hoddle's book, just the bits and bobs that were serialised, including that rubbish about me not being focused. I am not sure if anything was said to the manager's face, but I think he knew our feelings. We lost respect for him over that." It's obvious David is very much in love and adores his family. But what is even clearer is that he is also very uncomfortable with a lot of the publicity he receives, despite the fact that he admits he loves being centre stage on the pitch. As a personal insight into a footballing hero and cultural icon, it works very well and is very readable, but it scores more as a loving tribute to Beckham's heartthrob status and on that level you won't be disappointed. --Jonathan Weir --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Perhaps this is due to my love on Manchester United and my curiosity on David Beckham -- one of the best midfielders in the world. Beckham describes his life very thoroughly... you can sense his feeling on anything through his words from the book. You can feel how much he loves his wife, his son and his football. You can see the book is actually the actual words in Beckham's heart, deep into his heart. Very satisfy with this book!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

He has many followers and many fans in the world. He plays for Manchester United and England. Ever since he was a child, David had always wanted to play for Man U and he has fulfilled his ambition. When David was in his teens his friends would go down to the corner shop with a bottle of cider, whilst he was watching Match Of The Day with his Dad or practising his ball skills in the street. Every Thursday he would go down to the park with a car tyre and tie it to the crossbar in the top corner of a goal and then practise his free-kicks into the tyre. This book encourages younger people to follow David Beckhams footsteps and then maybe they will become the next David Beckham. I KNOW I WILL.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
