When Beckham Went to Spain: Power, Stardom and Real Madrid Paperback - 2005
by Jim Burns
David Beckham made transfer history by moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid. For Beckham, the boy who had devoted his professional life to Manchester United, where he became a global celebrity, the move to Spain represented the biggest challenge of his career. Real Madrid was proud of its tradition as the most successful football club ever-an institution whose influence in Spain was huge and whose trophy record was unrivaled around the world. Beckham had to prove that he was more than just a brand to Real Madrid's supporters, that he was a player worthy of a team that had gathered the leading stars from across the globe, that he understood what it meant to play football in Spain.
A must-read not just for Beckham fans, but for those with a broader interest in Spain and its people, this book is an original and illuminating account of one of the most fascinating cultural and social encounters of our time.
