Father Tiresias Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 He's absolutely right of course, there is far far too much money being paid to football players now and that's football players of all ages!! Beckham and his stupid wife are another argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearts_crazy Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 :rofl: That's all you can do to a story like that. In fact the dictionary definition of the word hypocrisy should use that story as an example. For someone who was one of the first players who had oodles and oodles of money chucked at him from a very early age, (much more than his actual ability deserved IMO), and who now devotes more of his attention to advertising and generally getting loads of dosh for just being David Beckham than he does for the game that made him famous. For someone like him, of all people to come out with that stuff utterly beggars belief. How out of touch with reality is he FFS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyJenkins Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Im not sure Beckham was on alot of money as a youth player. Was his first car not a fiesta or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysthereinspirit Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Guess it depends on how much he was being paid at a young age and what he constitutes as young. You cant fault Beckhams hunger as far as football goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebo Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hypocrisy? Why? What he is saying is correct, and is not a criticism that can be accurately leveled at himself. Yes, he is exceptionally wealthy now, but he was a star on the pitch before all the rest. And any suggestion that he lacks hunger or professionalism is ridiculous.

Even if he was one of the 'guilty' ones, he'd have been daft to refuse the money offered regardless of whether he thought it was healthy for the game.

Ribble Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Think Beckham is totally spot on with what he says, if only some of our talented youngsters over the years had the hunger Beckham did then we may have seen far greater sucess as a club! Can you imagine how steven simmons might have turned out? v talented as a youth player yet got good money and a 5 year deal and went downhill !

BobbyJenkins Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Poor wee boy only a Fiesta. You know what I mean so I dont know why you posted the above.
