David Beckham to Retire and Escape from L.A.?

Alison — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 12:17:03 +0000

Word has it that football hottie David Beckham has said that as soon as the World Cup is finished he will retire from playing football for LA Galaxy and AC Milan to become a full time dad. Reports say that he has also told his wife, Victoria Beckham, that once he’s retired he would like to move back to England so the children can enjoy the same kind of upbringing he had.

Reportedly, Victoria Beckham couldn’t be more thrilled and has agreed to move back to England with the family. Sources close to the family say this is absolute nonsense. Becks will turn 35 next month and has spoken about his future career to news sources recently, giving no indication of his retirement but that he does want to spend more time with the family.

So what’s it gonna be Becks? Do you think he’s meant to be a stay at home dad or does he belong in the field doing what he does best?

David Beckham Planning Post-Football Future

Erin Balser — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 12:26:37 +0000

David Beckham knows he can’t play football forever and is looking at planning his next career. The rumor is he’s interested in sports and entertainment financing and is already putting this plan in place with AEG and Galaxy owner Tim Leiweke.

Leiweke has promised David a boardroom job after retirement, if he so desires. The catch is that David is expected to be more than a figurehead and actually be involved in the ins-and-outs of the company, and this requires a crash course in sports financing. David has been taking a lot of talks with Tim and his daughter, Francesca, even taking her to a LA Lakers game earlier this month.

“He now has the high profile and celebrity status in America that Tim believes will attract further investors and raise public awareness of the company,” a source told The London News. “David will help AEG become a household name.”

Working with AEG would keep David in Los Angeles and involved in the Galaxy. I think it would be a great next step for him.

Erin Balser — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 14:41:59 +0000

David Beckham wrote a brief blog post yesterday about his trip to Vegas last weekend. It was exciting for him to watch Ricky Hatton’s boxing match and to see his pal win. He was also excited to watch the England football team play in Berlin, although he was disappointed he wasn’t there himself to play the game.

David’s looking forward to the Galaxy’s match in New Zealand next week. It’s a brief post, but it’s nice to get caught up with what’s happening with David. I appreciate that he updates his blog even in the Galaxy off-season. You can read the post for yourself here.

LA Galaxy Draw With Dallas

Erin Balser — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 01:36:10 +0000

David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy played their final game of the season yesterday, playing Dallas to a 2-2 draw. Eddie Buddle and Landon Donovan picked up the two Galaxy goals, and David helped out with an assist. It was a disappointing end to a lackluster season for the Galaxy. Let’s hope they work hard during the off-season and come back next year better than ever.

Soccer isn’t over for for David though. He’s soon going to be headed to AC Milan to play during the off-season. How do you feel about David headed to Milan? ill it make him a better player for the Galaxy? Or is it unfair, and opens up questions about his loyalty to MLS and the Galaxy?

Erin Balser — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 13:12:07 +0000

David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy played to a 2-2 draw against the New England Revolution last night, an outcome that was hard-fought and well deserved by the team.

Landon Donovan picked up both goals for the Galaxy, which were assisted by Peter Vagenas and Eddie Lewis, respectively.

“Everybody knows Landon is a great goal scorer,” David said to the press after the game. “It’s what he does. It’s what he’s done his whole career. It’s what he’ll carry on doing because he’s very talented. If you give him the ball in the right places, he’ll score 99 percent of the time. Tonight was a good night for him, because he had two chances and he put them both away.”

David also said he was really pleased with the team effort and that they are all looking forward to making a great play-off run!

Below is a video of some of the highlights from the game!
