With David Beckham calling it a career, what better way to remember him than to look back at his specialty, the free kick goal.
Famous for his ability to strike a free kick like few in the history of the game, Beckham delivered goal after goal using technique that could be seen in him at a very young age.
Here is a video with all of the free kick goals he scored during his prestigious club career:

This didnt include the one he score vs COL when they opened their stadium 😀
A. Lord thank you Internet
B. Love the Madrid ones with Roberto Carlos and Beckham both run up – filthy
The music in the video, ha
Amazing how many varieties of free kick there are, too: the bender, the dip, the rocket, the knuckleball…
If his crosses/assists were included, this video would be an hour long. (And sweet Lord, just think of all the crappy Brit-house songs you’d have to listen to!)
My favorites are the ones when he goes far post (from right to left) and the keepers are expecting the near post strike. They are usually statues.
Guy is the best free-kick taker of all time.
Beckham wasn’t afraid to bend it on that hideous, football-line-riddled turf RSL played on. Henry take note.
Man, those were some rought years at Rice-Eccles stadium. Seems like ancient history now.
No one can convince me that Juninho was better than Beckham. No doubt Juninho was an excellent free kick taker as well, especially from a longer range out – where he was better than Beckham. But, Beckham’s free kicks were king.
that was awesome! must-see video for my son and all aspiring free-kick takers
one I didn’t see in there–didn’t he sneak a corner in vs. Metapan in the CL too?
I think they sneaked one for England in there.
The one against Greece is arguably the most famous and important one.
while the upper 90 free kick is aesthetically more pleasing to the eye, the lower 90 is more lethal (especially on wet grass).
what’s amazing is that he won like 20 caps all while playing in MLS. That’s gotta say something. Heck Henry could probably still start for France since Benzema can’t do anything for them
