Dennis Bergkamp is another one with "Do you know who I am?" syndrome. No one can top Garth Crooks with that one line. When I said I don't have a clue, he gave me a stern and angry look. A collegue said that he was a footballer and big in the 80s. I told him in the 1980s I was in the States working, and I hate poofball. This was about 30 years ago.
I have no idea why the media loved Beckham; he can't even speak properly, yet he is now a WEF member. I wonder who is blackmailing whom for him to be at WEF.
I still remember the back to back news cycle of when Beckham left the UK for Spain; no other player got coverage because of moving teams.

Agree about Zidane but De Bruyne up there too. Great players have varied talents; his assists were often genius.

Cruise looks very old, it's amazing what makeup and airbrushing can do.
Beckham is trying to be a Sir; he is doing what he can to bury his association with Diddy and Brand. It's strange that the media always followed him around, but not other footballers unless they crashed a car or fired air rifles out of windows.
The media has always been obsessed with Beckham. And for me he was very overrated as a player. He was very good, but paled into insignificance against the greatest. Zinedine Zidane is still by far the greatest player I have ever seen play. Dennis Bergkamp second. Diego Maradona the third. The top three for pace and just sheer creativity.

I don't mind celebrities but I find the Beckhams oddly very boring.
