 While Beckham was playing for Manchester United

 "It changed my life. The ball seemed to be in the air for hours and it all went quiet. Then, the ball went in and it just erupted. I was on cloud nine. I just wanted to shake everybody's hand and be out on the pitch for an hour."

 —Beckham on the goal from the half-way line against Wimbledon in August 1996 that made him a household name.

 While Beckham was going to join LA Galaxy

 Beckham became LA Galaxy captain immediately upon joining the team.

 I'm coming there not to be a superstar. I'm coming there to be part of the team, to work hard and to hopefully win things. With me, it's about football. I'm coming there to make a difference. I'm coming there to play football. I'm not saying me coming over to the States is going to make soccer the biggest sport in America. That would be difficult to achieve. Baseball, basketball, American football, they've been around. But I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't think I could make a difference.

 Retirement

 On 16 May 2013, Beckham announced that he would retire from professional football at the end of that year's French football season.

 England National Football Team

 Beckham made his first appearance for the England national team on 1 September 1996, in a World Cup qualifying match against Moldova.

 Quotes

 Nothing amazes me anymore.

 As a footballer, you always want to test yourself against the best.

 The spotlight will always be on me, but it's something I'm learning to live with as the years go by.

 Tom Cruise, he is a lot more famous than me.

Neymar named Brazil 🇧🇷 captain permanently

Neymar believes the responsibility of leading Brazil will be good for him after the Paris Saint-Germain star was appointed captain. Head coach Tite scrapped his captaincy rotation by naming Neymar as Brazil's permanent skipper on the eve of Friday's international friendly against the United States in New Jersey. Neymar endured a turbulent World Cup campaign in Russia, where Brazil made a shock quarter-final exit against Belgium. The 26-year-old – who scored twice at the showpiece tournament after recovering from a broken foot sustained in February – was a regular target of criticism for his theatrics and behaviour on the pitch, having exaggerated fouls. Fronting the media alongside Tite after he received the captain's armband, Neymar told reporters: "I accepted again because I've learned a lot and I will learn much more. And this responsibility will be a good thing to me."
