First of all, I'm so glad that the city of Houston has a football team again. They have such great fans. I'm really happy for the people of Houston because they deserve a football team. ↗
I did play two years of high school football and was very short and uncoordinated but the second year I was very tall and skinny and very uncoordinated. ↗
Beckham is unusual. He was desperate to be a footballer. His mind was made up when he was nine or ten. Many kids think that it's beyond them. But you can't succeed without practising at any sport. ↗
I'm from a council estate myself, and the biggest release we had as kids was football. That's where all the great players learn their trade - as kids having a kickabout. ↗
I learned to take the first job that you have in the business that you want to get into. It doesn't matter what that job is, you get your foot in the door. ↗
Looking back I find it hard to believe that I could forge a career in anything other than football but I didn't do too badly in my final exams and there were a few business-related courses that interested me. ↗
