Product Description

Product Description

David Beckham - hero of British soccer, idol to millions. His face has become instantly recognisable around the globe, and his combination of good looks, easy charm and fabulous sporting talent have endeared him to millions. In June 2003, Manchester United shocked the footballing world by selling off their star to Spanish rivals Real Madrid. What led Man U to make such a seemingly rash move? How did Beckham react when the news was broken to him? Were there more sinister forces at work behind the scenes? The full truth of this sensational moment in footballing history is revealed for the first time in this explosive book that every soccer fan should want to read. It also tells the fans all the secrets that they want to know about their favourite star: the truth about his relationship with Ferguson; how he and Victoria cope with life in the constant glare of publicity; and of course, exactly how he got to be just so good!

2.0 out of 5 stars Another type of Betrayal, 14 Jun 2005
I purchased this book purely of the strength of the cover which purported that the book would tell the inside story of why David Beckham parted company with Manchester United.
Furthermore, the picture used on the cover was taken after the infamous changing room bust up with Sir Alex Ferguson and I took this as further evidence that the book would explain what actually happened and why.
But this was not the case. The book made no reference to the incident, offered no explanation as to what took place nor does it tell us what was said.
It was only upon reaching the last chapter of this biography that I realised, with growing frustration, that the cover was completely mis-leading. There is very little inside story contained in this book and it is little more than a friendly version of David's life story. Pleasant to read, interesting in parts for fans of David Beckham and his wife but absolutely not what it purports to be on the cover.
At the end of the book the reader is no wiser as to what took place between the player and his manager, what was said or what was the cause of the altercation.
Don't waste your money on this book if you are hoping to find out. The cover is The Great Betrayal. It is simply a marketing exercise and a cheap one at that.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Great Letdown, 31 Dec 2007
By Mr. J. C. Sharman "jamess90" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Crikey, how much does the author love the Beckhams !!! This book couldn't be more one-sided if it tried. Too full of guff and stomach churning compliments to give an objective view. The title is misleading, there is no inside story at all. Its like a lot of Beckham books, that is if you've read the papers for the past decade, you know all there is no know. Poor title, poor book and if I'm honest, I found it hard work finishing it and you should never say that about a book !
