David Beckham played in the English Premier League for more than 10 years. He became famous as a master of accurate passes and assists, as well as taking free kicks and penalties. The former Manchester United player left behind a record that has yet to be broken.
So Beckham set a record for the most goals from free kicks in the Premier League. So the football player hammered 18 of these swords. However, the first threat appears, which may soon eclipse the performance of the legendary Englishman.
His main competitor was 28-year-old midfielder James Ward-Prowse, who had already been relegated from the Premier League with his club Southampton at the end of last season. He even managed to play in one round in the Championship and, it would seem, broke a new record.
However, Ward-Prowse is bought by West Ham for 35 million euros. This means that the club’s newcomer from Stratford will have the opportunity to overtake Beckham in the number of goals scored in the Premier League from free kicks this season. He is only one goal behind the record holder.
Last season, Ward-Prowse played 38 matches, scored 9 goals and provided 4 assists. Perhaps the midfielder will replace 24-year-old Declan Rice in the new team, who moved from West Ham to Arsenal this summer for a record fee of more than £100 million.
Watch how Ward-Prowse can trace the “wall” in the video below. This guy has every chance of becoming the new record holder for the most goals scored from free kicks in the Premier League.
Becks has owned his own football club in the USA, Inter Miami, for several years. It recently became known that plans to buy Messi into his team appeared long before the creation of the club, and the fate of the famous Argentine was decided during dinner over a glass of wine.
It turns out that Beckham has more than two passions in life — football and his wife Victoria. The former football player turned out to be a big fan of Lego constructors. This is his main hobby, which his whole family knows about. It all started when David was playing for Milan. Then the football player had a lot of free time, and he found a model of the Taj Mahal on the Internet. The Lego construction set fascinated the football player so much that he bought it and assembled it with his sons. Find out what happened next in our material.
