Beckham by David Beckham

Perfect for fans of the hit Netflix docuseries, Beckham.

The autobiography of arguably the world's most celebrated sports icon, David Beckham--a classic rags to riches saga of a boy, born into a poor East End London family, with prodigious talent and a father who believed in him and supported him until he became the most gifted athlete of his generation and his nation's captain.

In his own words, Beckham talks about the pressures of celebrity, his controversial and celebrated career, his marriage to Victoria Beckham and family, and, of course, life as the world's best-known soccer player. In Beckham, the ordinary guy who fate decided would be lifted to glory tells the story of how it all happened.

This definitive autobiography goes behind the headlines to reveal the man behind the icon:

• An Inspirational Story: From a working-class London family to the world stage, an unprecedented rags-to-riches journey fueled by raw talent and relentless hard work.
• A Father-Son Dynamic: An honest look at his famously complex and career-defining relationship with legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
• Life in the Spotlight: A candid account of his marriage to Victoria Beckham and the immense pressures of becoming one half of the world's most famous couple.
• Captain for Country: The pride and pressure of wearing the armband, from the agony of the 1998 World Cup to leading the Three Lions with passion and resolve.
