David Beckham is retiring from football

after two decades at the top of the game.

“I’m thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity

to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish

my career, playing at the highest level” he said.

Beckham was initially thought to be contemplating a

further year’s contract at Paris Saint-Germain, where he

has just won a league title in a fourth country following

spells at  Manchester United, Real Madrid and

the  LA Galaxy in MLS.  On the international stage,

Beckham holds the England record for making 115

appearances as an outfield player for the national team.

He is expected now to return to London with his wife

Victoria and children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz

and Harper. His fortune is said to be worth around

£165m and there have previously been suggestions

that he would like to invest in an MLS club and

pursue his coaching schemes for schoolchildren.
