David Beckham
 
It doesn't matter which team David plays for, the team gains befefits. Even though David's first game for LA Galaxy was not as popular as everyone predicted, the Galaxy still benefited in the long run. Every team David has played for has gained more money revenue due to jersey purchases and stadium seating tickets. Often times, David's bigger, more popular games, would get completely sold out.

If you take a minute to think about this, it's actually mind blowing. The fact that the team or the sponsoring company has earned millions of dollars just off of one individual is incredulous. David Beckham is so loved, admired, and adored, that people would buy his jerseys and purchase tickets just to see him in action, when you can watch it on tv for free.
 
After being dismissed from his England International team, Beckham was often re-called to play in matches. Whether it was a friendly match, or in an important tournament, Beckham would never refuse the offer to play with his team again. Beckham, after being being deprived of his Captaincy, regained his title only two years later (although temporarily). This event in David's career proves to everyone that his team not only missed David, but required his help in order to defeat their opponents. After finally being dismissed from playing with England, David told the manager he would always be open to play for them.

Although David is already a famous super-star athlete, he is still in love with football. His love for the game is like nothing I have ever witnessed with a football player. I've never heard of a man telling his team he would never refuse the opportunity to play with them again, even after being taunted and threatened (after the World Cup in 1998), and getting dismissed twice from the team. David's passion for football
 
Now don't get me wrong, I don't approve of everything David Beckham has done in his personal life and his football career, but that doesn't mean I don't respect him. Granted, all of England despised Beckham after the red card he received in the 1998 World Cup Series in France against Argentina, but he quickly regained everyone's trust and appreciation. Despite cheating on his wife, people still love and adore Beckham with almost a God-like status. Even his wife still took David back, proving he means too much to her to just throw away everything they have between them. He has worked hard throughout his football career, and put in many hours of time and dedication into training to get better. His coaches admired his self-discipline and responsibility not only as an athlete but as a person. He has lead his team to great victories, and has never once turned his back on his teammates.
