There are some moments in football that live on forever. Moments that echo around the world, that seem to change the entire landscape in an instant, that set fans off arguing for decades. In this new series on COPA90 Stories, Eli will be bringing these magic moments to life with the help of the people who were there, and examining how they shaped the world around them.
First up, we have the story of David Beckham between 1998 and 2001, almost unbelievably neat - a perfect narrative arc of sin followed by redemption, with the entire story resting on one ludicrously cool moment. We all know him as an unquestionable national treasure now, but it all could have been very different….

I remember seeing us ( United) play at Upton Park, 2nd game of the 98/99 season I think, and the stuff coming from 3 sides of the ground was toxic. Horrible bullshit basically. Yet he was brilliant for us that season and he reacted to it the right way. Then a few years later he’s top of the tree again for England. I bet those fans who were calling him every name under the sun were the ones who were now saying he’s the best. Plus that World Cup in 1998 was actually pretty crap. We scraped through the group stage and although a bit unlucky against Argentina, we ultimately went out in the 2nd round. Unlike the 2 previous world cups we were in where we got stronger as the tournament went on.

"But it was just a qualifier..." ...a qualifier that you HAD to win in order to even get to the World Cup. And if my memory serves correct you had Albania in that same group as well. Says a lot when you have Albania in a WC qualifying group and still put it at risk because trust me, as an Albanian I can truthfully say our football is absolutely dogshit. You'd probably see a whole bunch of Sunday League divisions with a higher quality of football and more fairness than the Albanian top flight, and I'm not even joking.

Got to echo the previous comment, they're talking about goals + incidents without showing them + it doesn't really work.......... We're talking 20+ years ago so it's not fresh in anyone's mind....... you just want to see what's everyone's talking about. That moment when Beckham became a god......... will not be shown......... we're just going to talk about it........ This is podcast material, more of a listen, than a watch....... You could even say it's a bit of a tease, if you can't show the action you're on about then you should leave it alone, is the conclusion I've come to.... Of course, that's only my opinion + you might disagree........ in which case you'd be wrong, but I've shown you what's what + that's your lot....... You're welcome........
