David Beckham is both a brilliant footballer and a global icon. The slightest story about his life generates huge media coverage, but those truly close to him have never given their side of his incredible journey-until now.

Ted Beckham’s story is the ultimate dream of every father who has kicked a football with his son. A lifelong Manchester United supporter, Ted has seen his son David captain both his beloved Reds and England, as well as becoming an inspiration for a generation along the way. Even David Beckham was once an ordinary kid, dreaming of making a living out of football, and in this celebratory book Ted Beckham lovingly charts what happened from David’s birth to his move to Real Madrid.
