Former
England skipper, David Beckham has announced his retirement from active
football. After notching up 115 caps for England, he has gone on to become the
first Englishman to win league championships in four different countries. Below
is his statement:
I'm
thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the
right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level. If you had told
me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club
Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over one hundred
times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have
told you it was a fantasy. I'm fortunate to have realised those dreams. To this
day, one of my proudest achievements is captaining my country. I knew every
time I wore the Three Lions shirt, I was not only following in a long line of
great players, I was also representing every fan that cared passionately about
their country. I'm honoured to represent England both on and off the pitch... I
want to thank all my team-mates, the great managers that I had the pleasure of
learning from. I also want to thank the fans who have all supported me and given
me the strength to succeed.
