Beckham’s career began when he signed a professional contract with Manchester United， making his first－team debut in 1992 aged 17。 During his time there， United won the Premier League title six times， the FA Cup twice， and the UEFA Champions League in 1999。 He left Manchester United to sign for Real Madrid in 2003， where he remained for four seasons， clinching the La Liga championship in his final season with the club。 In January 2007， it was announced that Beckham would leave Real Madrid for the Major League Soccer club Los Angeles Galaxy， signing a five－year contract with them on 1 July 2007。 While a Galaxy player， he spent two loan spells in Italy with Milan in 2009 and 2010。
In international football， Beckham made his England debut on 1 September 1996， at the age of 21。 He was made captain from 15 November 2000 until the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals， during which he played 58 times。 He earned a much－publicised hundredth cap against France on 26 March 2008， and became the all－time outfield player appearance record holder on 28 March 2009 when he surpassed Bobby Moore’s total of 108 caps。 With 115 career appearances to date he has stated that does not intend to retire from international football， having missed the 2010 World Cup through injury and not featuring in England manager Fabio Capello’s post－World Cup plans。
Beckham has twice been runner－up for FIFA World Player of the Year and in 2004 was the world’s highest－paid footballer when taking into account salary and advertising deals。 Beckham was the first British footballer to play 100 Champions League matches。 He was Google’s most searched of all sports topics in both 2003 and 2004。 With such global recognition he has become an elite advertising brand and a top fashion icon。 When joining the MLS in 2007 he was given the highest player salary in the league’s history， with his playing contract with the Galaxy over the next three years being worth ＄6。5m per year。
Beckham is married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham （née Adams）。 The couple have three sons， are expecting a daughter， and currently reside in Beverly Hills， California。
贝克汉姆从曼联出道以来可谓顺风顺水，不但在俱乐部一路摘走不少荣誉，在球场外也是春风得意，令人羡慕的婚姻，广泛的社交圈子，都令这位英格兰足球的代表人物很长一段时间过得非常滋润，但是，2003年飞鞋事件之后，小贝和恩师弗格森反目成仇，自己也在赛季结束后远赴西班牙皇家马德里，看似这是一场从皇马到曼联乃至小贝本人都受益的转会，却在后来被证明并非那么成功。习惯了国家队和俱乐部的右前卫位置的小贝被发配到后腰上，而事实证明这一举措是失败的，尽管贝克汉姆勤勤恳恳，但他生来不是防守队员的材料，而擅长的长传在欧文走后更加找不到目标，此时伴随着杰拉德和兰帕德的崛起，小贝在国家队的位置朝不保夕，这点也是小贝自己所不愿意看到的。 好在有埃里克松力挺，小贝暂时不至于被排除在国家队首发11人之外，但世界杯后麦克拉伦第一时间将小贝排除在国家队大门外，此外皇马主帅卡佩罗也逐渐冷落贝克汉姆，其“万人迷”的光环开始逐渐黯淡。
