He never reached the level of the really outstanding players like Zidane, Platini, Beckenbauer, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Van Basten, etc. At 31, his joining LA Galaxy looks more to do with a new future in glamourland, than revamping his career as a professional footballer, ...err soccer player.
At one stage in his life Beckham could complete all 23 stages of the beep test. He's a gifted athlete as far as VO2max is concerned. He could have been a pretty good runner or cyclist.
