Really?

From 2000:

"Beckham didn't deserve to be elected best player in the world. When he can do something else apart from cross perhaps he will."

"He (Beckham) cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right."

True then, true now. When you get right down to it, he had a good delivery when in space, an occasionally dangerous free kick, and put himself about a bit. The only people who thought he was ever world class were the British tabloids and Max Clifford.
