Key quotes
· 3 pulledFor a working-class bloke from the East End of London, being immortalized in such a fashion seemed like a pipe dream.
His 'militant' work ethic he inherited from his parents — his father was a repairman; his mother a hairstylist — guided him to six Premier League titles, UEFA Champions League and La Liga titles, two MLS Cups and England captaincy on the pitch.
Beckham has never been one to let obstacles get in his way.
