David Beckham Honored In London

David Beckham was honored for his contributions to soccer with a tribute dinner, put on by the UK’s Football Writers
Association in London on Sunday night.

“It’s an incredible honor to receive this award. Football
writers have followed my career from when I was a young player at Manchester
United up to now. It’s great to receive this recognition from those who follow
and love the game,” David said.

During the dinner, a former coach of England’s national soccer
team suggested that the team’s new coach, Fabio Capello, should play Beckham in
a match next month against Swizterland.

If Becks plays in the game, it would be his 100th
ever appearance for his national team.

Becks recently wrapped up his first year on the LA Galaxy
squad.

After spending some time supporting his wife, Victoria,
on her tour with the Spice Girls, David was most recently spotted in London,
getting some soccer practice in with London-based team, Arsenal.
