Take a bow Mr Beckham

[Jacqui Harvey]

I have given to children in lots of countries, but France does not spring to mind as somewhere I have  been asked to donate.  If I see a school like the one we support in Turkey, in Paris I might change my mind, or if I see places  like the ones third world countries where I have sponsored children, somewhere in France I would gladly give.    Beckham would not get a place in a Premier League Team, but at 38 he could play for a lower league and donate all the money to Charity in England. There is no shame in that.
The Beckhams will get a place in Paris and also one in London, it's a very quick commute and Victoria has a lot of friends in the fashion industry in Paris.

Wayne Rooneys been giving his wages to the elderly for years!

Jeez...even when Beckham does something good folk cannot stop themselves from knocking him

[tinkerman]

Thats always the way Jan, doesn't matter who it is they dammed if they do and dammed if they don't.

Beckham would not get a place in a Premier League Team,

I reckon he might get a game for QPR, Aston Villa or Wigan just at the minute.

but at 38 he could play for a lower league

Scholes, Giggs - why not Beckham

[Jacqui Harvey]

Scholes and Giggs have played Premium League Football, which is at the top level,constantly, without a break. Beckham has been out of it for years playing in the States.. which is why M.U. did not want him back.
I am not knocking Beckham for giving money I already complimented him for doing so.  However, the way the French feel about us and in lots of cases, the way the British feel about them I just wish he was giving his money elsewhere...

No buts from me either, in fact I’m quite surprised anyone has any buts. What has he done wrong??

He doesn’t want to play for a team other than Man Utd in the prem, the team that nurtured him, which is honourable and he has donated his salary to a charity.

H is right, what difference does it make if it’s in France, should we all stop supporting the Turkish charities?

What makes people David Beckham bash?

[jrichards1]

I think Scoles had a short retirement before Fergie brought him back. I remember him having something wrong with his eyes.

[Jacqui Harvey]

David Beckham is not unique in giving to Charity .  A lot of Footballers give their time and money to Charities, however, it's not publicised.  So a pat on the back for Beckham and and another one for the Footballers who do their Charity work privately and quietly... They are all worth praising.

Well said jrichards1.
