Former England football captain David Beckham has been awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours, recognizing his contributions to sports and charitable work. In a heartfelt statement, Beckham reflected on growing up with patriotic values and fulfilling his dream of captaining his country. He has sustained a significant impact off the pitch as well, working with various organizations that support communities and inspire youth. The honor comes at a moment of personal reflection for Beckham, who married Victoria in 1999 and has four children.
To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true.
I'm so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I'm grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment.
