Beckham as achilles: last act for football’s golden boy
Former England captain David Beckham’s career-threatening injury ends dream of playing in fourth World CupAchilles was the most handsome of the Greeks who fought Troy, but he had a weakness. So, too, on Sunday night in Milan, not even the brand he has built around himself could protect David Beckham from the rupture in his heel that spells the end of his career as an elite footballer.Beckham the international sportsman probably passed into sepia when he pulled up lame for AC Milan on Sunday night. The club are being awfully sweet about his prospects of returning to fashion city when his long rehabilitation is over. They will miss his product-shifting lustre. But the World Cup will have passed by then. The machine of his fame endures ” but his body has broken down.The list of what Beckham has meant to us since he emerged as a lone flash cockney in the Manchester United golden generation of the early 1990s is a testament to his gift for transcending his skills on the football field, where he will be remembered as the best crosser and dead-ball specialist of his generation, but not a player in the same class as the one who replaced him in the United No 7 shirt: Cristiano Ronaldo.In no particular order, Beckham, who will be 35 in May, has been cast as alternative royalty, gay icon, an effigy swinging from an East End pub, tattooed spiritualist, kiss-and-tell victim, masculinity re-inventor, wounded bird and symbol of the inflated hopes invested in a crop of feted ” but underachieving ” England one-man corporations.He has played a humble Bobby Moore wannabe, a Beverley Hills exile (an infinitely nicer Vinnie Jones, with talent), a proselytiser for “soccer” in America, an OCD-confessor (the neatly lined-up Coke cans in the fridge), a crotch-thrusting billboard model for expensive pants and an incessant attention-seeker, an addiction that warps most celebrities but has not corrupted Beckham’s always agreeable nature.A publisher once asserted that a biography of David Beckham would be a biography of Britain.
