David Beckham

What Tiger Woods is to golf, David Beckham is to soccer. After a stellar European career, the 32-year-old Englishman signed a five-year deal last summer to play in the United States for the Los Angeles Galaxy. But David Beckham is more than just a soccer player: he and his wife Victoria, better known as Posh Spice of the Spice Girls, are a two person marketing team, selling what's known as the "Beckham Brand." Anderson Cooper has the story.

David Beck's might have never won fifa world player of the year, but he is one of the best footballers to have ever graced this planet. If you doubt that read all about his achievements while a Man-U player. He is is indeed like Tiger Woods and MJ!!!!!
