David Beckham Football Quotations

At the end of the day, I'm a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world.

There's room for boys' and girls' football in the world-that's what I believe.

Football's the biggest game in the world. America's the greatest sporting nation there is. To play some part in putting those two things together: why wouldn't I be excited about that?

My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7.

I've felt a little tired, but I'm only 24. I love playing football. That's my job and that's what I love doing.

We have spoken about a meeting in the next couple of months, but we'll just have to wait because we've got so many matches and I need to concentrate on the football for now.

I haven't retired from international football - I still believe I have a part to play in the future of England.

Keeping fit is really important as playing football is all I've ever wanted to do.

There is always scope for football to be more charitable but a lot happens already. Personally I have always been passionate about charity.

The game is in a neutral country for both teams.

Being a dad is more important than football

No matter who our opponents are, or who we are playing against, we want to win the game.

I dream a lot about football and a lot of them have come true for me.

I love football and I love winning, and when things aren't going right I get annoyed.

We're definitely going to get Brooklyn christened, but we don't know into which religion.

My new tattoo is Jesus being carried by three cherubs. Obviously the cherubs are my boys. At some point they are going to need to look after me. That's what they're doing in the picture. It means a lot.

That was in the past - we're in the future now.

In my career there's many things I've won and many things I've achieved. But my greatest achievement is my family. What matters is being a good father and a good husband-just being connected to family as much as possible. Being a dad is more important than football, more important than anything. I adore children. I love the fact our children are part of both of us. It's one of the most amazing things ever.

Even though we haven't won anything on the pitch I love playing football here. Playing for Real Madrid is an honor. I want to win something and I don't want to leave without winning something.

At some stage, playing in America is possible. For me, America is so passionate and I would like to be a part of that. I have one year left at Real, and maybe two more after that, but things can change in football and the American league does interest me.

I want, and I'm convinced that I will, end my career at Real Madrid. In football you can never tell what's going to happen, but I still think that I've got a lot to give as a player and I would like to continue at one of the best clubs in the world - Real Madrid. I want to stay here for many more years, for as long as Real Madrid want me to stay.

It's disappointing when it happens anywhere in world football because we all know how wrong it is -- and so many people are working so hard to cut it out of the game.

The football side of things is much better now and I'm pleased with how it's going,
