It was apparent from the beginning that nothing would stand in the way of David Beckham achieving his ambition to make football his career and to play for Manchester United. Sporting hero and genius are terms often used to describe those who do not always deserve the honour, but few would dispute how fitting the descriptions are to Beckham. Who could have imagined or foreseen just how famous he was to become both on and off the football field. This programme is not just a footballing story, going behind the scenes and using exclusive rare footage we discover little known details about the footballing phenomenon and celebrity, David Beckham. Through the people that know him best - friends, critics and fellow professional footballers -we piece together and provide an insight into his character and how with determination, courage and excellence he has overcome the horrors of the 1998 World Cup disaster against the old enemy, Argentina and achieved success in the Beautiful Game before and during the 2002 World Cup campaign.
