#2 Former Manchester United Number 7- David Beckham
The English man ticked all the right boxes that make a football player a fan favourite. A stylish footballer who dated a pop star and more importantly had a deadly right foot, that could turn any game on its head, David Beckham surely added to the charm of an iconic number that had been worn by legends such as Bryan Robson, George Best and Eric Cantona before him.
He was an integral part of the United line-up in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s and won almost everything there is at offer in club football during his time at Old Trafford. Add to the various trophies, individual accolades such as FIFA world player of the year runner-up on 2 occasions during his time at Manchester United which further enhanced his reputation as one of the best in the world.
