McEwan's Lager 30,895 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I actually haven't seen the documentary either. I just know from my own eyes, and from reading about Beckham from his own team mates, world class players like Zidane and Figo, who have always extolled how good his vision, his work rate, how relentless his winning attitude was and his overall approach to fitness. If we minimised the skill in his right foot its feasible he still is a top tier player, just a different type of player, someone like Gattuso had no great technical ability but he made up with that with his work rate and relentless attitude. Look at Thomas Muller. There's nothing in him that stands out technically about him. He's below average at many things - something he would admit himself. But he's the most decorated German footballer of all time mainly because of his attitude, work rate and an innate ability to see things that others don't see.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is mate but there is no malice to it. We could all do with a wee laugh at the moment. The point being made is that his ability with his right blinds people to his other attributes and the media have done their lazy thing and gone along with it putting it in people's minds. If he could tackle as well as he took free kicks he would have been an even better player. We are pretty much saying the same thing. A bit like the glass half full half empty bollocks 😂 superallysbears 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBearButt 3,748 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 It was a cracking watch. I was actually surprised how level headed and dare I say normal him and his family are given his celebrity and fame. No doubt one of the greats and you can see how much he still loves the game which isn't always the case when retirement comes calling.
