David Beckham
Beckam is one of Britain's most iconic athletes whose name is also an elite global advertising brand. He was captain of the English national team from 1998 to 2009, scored in three different FIFA World Cups, and played midfield for clubs in Manchester, England, Madrid, Spain, and Milan, Italy; he also won the MLS Cup playing for Los Angeles Galaxy in 2011 and 2012. His awareness on the field allowed him to create a lot of assists and his forte was his delivery from the right-hand side as well as his efficient free kicks. Consistently ranked among the sport's highest earners, in 2013 Beckham was listed as the highest-paid player in the world, earning over $50 million in the previous 12 months. He has been married to former Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham since 1999 and they have four children and David has been a UNICEF UK ambassador since 2005.
Roy Race
Roy of the Rovers is the most famous comic book footballer of all. Roy Race began his 38-year career by, naturally enough, scoring the winner for Melchester Rovers on his debut in Tiger . From there his life, which read like a script to Footballers' Wives, was characterised by last-minute winners. Once shot in a J.R. Ewing-style whodunit, Race was twice kidnapped, led Rovers on a 13-year unbeaten run and in 1985 pulled off the impressive coup of signing Martin Kemp and Gary Norman from Spandau Ballet. His playing career ended in 1993, when he lost his left foot in a helicopter accident.
