I don’t think people understand how well David played in that match, even before his free kick. If you have the chance, watch his individual highlights. It’s one of the best individual performances I’ve ever seen.

Best game he's ever played. He was phenomenal that game. Absolutely everywhere on the pitch.

He absolutely bossed that game and he was the only player on that day that knew we needed something out of the game and covered every blade of glass. An absolutely phenomenal game for him.

Underappreciated player. One of the best in free kicks and crossing. Bend it Beckham

Even his most iconic moment in an england shirt, possibly his whole career, and he still takes the time to credit Teddy Sherringham's role in it, despite being unnoticed by almost everyone else.

The passion with which he speaks about his England career and his captaincy is just incredible and what makes him up there with only a handful of legendary players. He lived for it. It meant everything to him. As a fan, that’s the passion you have and that’s what you want to see your players represent on the pitch. My respect for him is endless he gave me some of the most treasured memories I have of watching football as a kid.

In terms of Ability people don’t talk about Beckham enough but it terms of fame he’s definitely talked about enough

Remember watching this and my dad going absolutely mental when the goal went in! Probably Beckham's best ever game in an England shirt and he practically played Greece on his own. Not to forget Sherringham coming on as a sub scoring and playing unreal to.

There have been games in the past where players have put in great individual performances, but there have been few where one player has carried the entire team and the entire nation on his back through a game, but Beckham vs Greece was one of them. He was absolutely everywhere that day, I can't remember another performance like that by anyone in an England shirt, players in 2021 should be looking back at that performance and striving to do it for England in the Euros. I think we often accuse players of not deserving the shirt, that day the shirt barely deserved Beckham.

I was there as a 10 y/o with my Grandad. I've never heard a stadium like it since after it hit the back of the net.

I got goosebumps just hearing him retell this story. At the time I was half hiding behind the doorframe to my living room watching him take this free kick.

3:20 more than that becks..it was the greatest redemption story ever from world cup 1998-2002..villain to hero..boy to man

The guy was a supreme player. And a legend. One of my all time favourite ever Manchester United players. Majestic.

Yes, absolutely David, you made us emotional and a lot of the times and very happy and excited most of the times. Wish you all the happiness and in good health!

One of his biggest moments in the stadium he loved the most

David Beckham has achieved so much both on and off the pitch in his career however in the future, you ask Anybody who was born in the 90s, or who was a kid on this game, and ask them what is David Beckham most famous for, ANYONE will say his free kicks but for any England fan, THIS goal is what David Beckham is most famous for.. 😊🇬🇧😊

amazing servant for England - took really pride in playing and being captain

This man ran 16km that game. Even before the Free Kick, he was the POTM of that game.

I'm Scottish. I will tell Mr.Beckham one thing. It was a brilliant goal. It really is one of my favourites. I watched the whole match. Beckham took a lot of free-kicks but when he ran up to that. I knew he'd found his target. I saw it go in maybe even before he did. I love that goal. I still watch it a lot. A beauty of a goal.

BECKS ran that game vs Greece not only did he get the fab free kick everytime I looked at the screen it was Becks either with the ball or chasing the ball down for me that was the best performance from an English footballer I've ever seen he was unstoppable that night I remember shedding emotional tears of joy when the free kick went in Just oozed class and confidence fabulous times but as usual we qualified for the world Cup and fekt it up in the quarter finals same old same old 🌍🏆🍀⚽😎

The most remarkable thing was that he seemed to be everywhere on that pitch and was constantly turning players and getting free kicks. He took that game by the scruff of the neck and just shook a win out of it. I have never seen one player have that much impact on a game.

if he ever comes back to england sky sports rlly need to get him in to be one of the pundits alongside jamie caragher, gary neville and roy keane

Underrated player

Anyone who watched that live or on tv will never forget that moment

I remember how mad I went when that free kick hit the top corner! 😅

It was so fitting that he scored at the Stretford End.

"Give that man a knighthood"

That match he ran 16 km, brilliant ✨

Apart from 66....Best England goal ever.... Just for a generation of fans celebrating a moment like that

I always say, it's amazing how everyone that I consider a legend considers Eric a legend. Ooh Ahh Cantona! Long live Kong Eric. Glory Glory Man United. Long Live The Class of 92

He is a great dad...hats off to him

Greece went on to become champions. England made them believe.

It was the greatest sporting moment I ever experienced being amongst very subdued England fans in a pub, and I was not even that knowleable with football (cricket is my fanatical sport and i have had a lot of special moments with that sport), but my friends were more knowledgable and I was there for them. But I followed the match, I knew what was at stake and when I saw that ball curved, somehow passing that wall and curving away from a perplexed goalkeeper into that far top corner of the goal at the last minute when everything appeared to be lost...a flood of euphoria swept me and I was in awe...and Beckham became a god to me as I could see how talented he was through that game, working his socks off. Although there have been many more special moments in sport such as Stokes triple dose of cricketing magic in 2019, nothing matched this Beckham moment for me even though I don't follow the sport!

David Beckham steal the show 🔥

And before this loads of England fans were building effigies of him and wishing his kids had cancer. All he had to do was score an injury time winner in a World Cup qualifier, and everyone was his best mate again.

People think David Beckham is an overrated player for being a celebrity. But it's the other way around. They constantly underestimate how good of a player he was just because he has a glamorous lifestyle outside the pitch

The goal which made me start watch football... 😍😍😍

For technical ability David beckham is the best British player ever world class from the start of his career t the end. Class talent and a great bloke!! 👌

Great player

Such a big moment. Just 2.5 years later we became European champions!!

Harper Seven so cute😊❤

We were 2-0 down and needed a draw to qualify. Teddy Sheringham coming off the bench turned the game for us.

"The goalkeeper got nowhere near it". That would imply, the goalkeeper moved to stop the ball which he absolutely didn't. He was glued to his spot as the ball went in.

love u Becks

Everyone remembers Beckham vs Greece.

One of England's greatest

My favorite moment was greece winning the euro.

Bend it like Beckham ❤

This is the first time, I heard him speak. I thought he would have a deeper voice.

He took a fair bit of stick for a long time after his sending off and then that free kick exonerated all that had gone before in an instant. Haters became lovers and even the harshest anti Beckham/Man Utd. supporters clapped their hands and jumped for joy. Iconic moment and well deserved as he turned out just fine ....lol.

Was one of the best to ever put an england or united shirt on.. real baller.. played nearly every league with the best..LEGEND

Iconic goal but at least we won a trophy in the 21st Century 😉 🇬🇷

he still sounds the same till now like a teen who just hit puberty lol

I think it might’ve been an emotional moment

He's quite eloquent here.

I thought it was kicking Simeone or missing penalties against France and Portugal in 2004.

All hail Golden Balls

There is no great moment when you wear the England shirt, if you were born after 1966.

I love your hair daddy 😊❤

I. Don't. Believe. It. David Beckham

I'm a straight man, but for David Beckham anyday.

Good job VAR was not about then, lol!

0 dislikes

Only took 27 attempts

Ledge

I’m so glad they didn’t show the goal 🤦‍♂️

Possibly the best one man has played in 90 minutes of football

Okay it’s a great goal but England were clearly aided by the referee in this game. The “foul” that led to the goal was nowhere near a foul. Becks even admits the referee gave him 8 chances before he finally hit one in.

who is the interviewer

Considering how little he has achieved in his career, it is no surprising that a goal in a world cup qualifier is considered his greatest achievement.

Dont get me wrong huge fan of becks. But all it did was take them to the tournament not like they won it or got to the final this game is kind of over hyped

If actually look at the way all this planned out beating Greece was the worst possible outcome! Greece draw that game win the group England go into the play off and the way it planned out England would’ve had an easier route to the final

Who is he ????

England will never ever win an international trophy ever again.

Zidane's greatest moment with the national team : 2 goals in 1998 World cup final and being world champion Ronaldo's (R9) greatest moment with the national team : 2 goals against Germany in the 2002 world cup and being world champion Beckham greatest moment with national team : 1 goal against Greece AT HOME to qualify for the world cup This is really sad and only proves that the English national team was since forever filled with overrated players that the Media made stars (i love Beckham but there have been so many amazing players who created history with their national teams than any English "LEGEND" has ever done with England

The opinions on this thread are absurd, I watched the match and lost count of the number of times an England player wanted to pass the ball to the right wing. WHERE THE EFF HAS THE RIGHTWINGER GONE???????????????? AWOL AWOL AWOL. DIRE PERFORMANCE FROM BECKHAM. Out of position for 90 minutes.

Always thought how this goldrn generation of England never won anything

And his worst moment was his red card 😂

What if England lost to Greece and won the playoff, well we wouldn't have to faceBrazil till the final!

All his money and he can't afford Botox?

England’s Biggest Ever Failure

GETTING SENT OFF AND LOSING ENGLANDS CHANCE TO QUALIFY
