"If
you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my
boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country
over one hundred times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world,
I would have told you it was a fantasy. I'm fortunate to have realized those
dreams," Beckham said.
On the
international stage, Beckham holds the England record for making 115
appearances as an outfield player for the national team.
"To
this day, one of my proudest achievements is captaining my country,"
Beckham said. "I knew every time I wore the Three Lions shirt, I was not
only following in a long line of great players, I was also representing every
fan that cared passionately about their country.
"I'm
honored to represent England both on and off the pitch ... I want to thank all
my team-mates, the great managers that I had the pleasure of learning
from. I also want to thank the fans who have all supported me and given
me the strength to succeed."
