Beckham was a player that really loved playing for england at a time when most of the players saw it as an extra job, he saw it as a privilege and i can truely say it was a privilege growing up seeing a player like him lead england

2:05 - Arguably the best goal of the lot - look where the ball actually ended - literally in the top right hand corner - unstoppable!!! But the Greece goal was the most emotional - I remember that day and jumping out of my seat like it was yesterday!!! Quality!!

Because of his looks and celebrity status, Beckham was underappreciated as a footballer. He truly was incredible.

I'm not English but I really appreciate Beckham and how he played in an England shirt. Great to see someone with such passion when playing for his country. I don't think he gets the credit he deserves as a player, he really was brilliant.

privilege for all of you to had an amazing player like him

Pity so many "english supporters" hated beckham. So what if he had a popstar wife, dodgy haircuts and "those" undies. He was one of out best ever players he could cross, he could take free kicks, he knew where the goal was and he played with passion, something we sorely lack today.

I don't care what people say, he is a nice fella and a great dad.

From Newcastle loving Geordie. Beckham was a great player for England. Loves his country and always gave 100% when he donned the shirt.

Brilliant player. His shots were always precise, powerful and wonderful. Legend of Man U and Real Madrid.

Beckham was a gift to England. We will not see the likes of him again for many generations. It’s just too bad England didn’t win a Euro Cup or World Cup during his time because he deserved it. He was also surrounded by an amazing group of players. Scholes, Sherringham, Coles. Sheerer was the only man who came close to Beckham. He was also robbed of international glory.

Beckham, can only say hero for United, hero for England, amazing player, best of the best. Haven't got words to describe how brilliant he was. It is privilege to have seem such an awesome player.

THAT free-kick vs Greece will go down in football folklore. Probably my favourite England goal!

[jamieleejones]

Beckham was class . Perfect touch. Vision . Pass . Shot accuracy was unreal from free kicks. And the ability he had was underrated.

He will always be one of England's best

steve mcclaren really thought he was a hotshot manager back then. he removed beckham from the national team and england failed to qualify for the euros lol

The greatest England player koz he always wet his jersey, gave his 200 percent on pitch. Never seen a player with passes so precise as Beckham. Sooo underated as a player i think even when he went to Real, where the pressure of a planet was on him i think he did much much better than expected... he brought fighting spirit to that midfield, tackles, long passes, long distance goals...then i discovered him as a central midfield player. Genuis.

No one scored long distance goals like Beckham. He was superb at it.

What a legend, the Greece goal actually made me cry watching it again. What a moment for an England supporter
