David Beckham chose one of his most iconic Manchester United strikes as the best goal of his career – although he needed reminding of it first by Gary Neville.
Beckham’s career was, of course, littered with iconic moments, from goals at the World Cup with England to some of his famous free-kicks at Old Trafford. Throughout his time in football, there were more than a few memorable strikes.
Perhaps the goal that first brought him to the attention of the masses though was his spectacular effort for United against Wimbledon in 1996. Having picked up the ball on the halfway line at Selhurst Park, Beckham spotted the hosts’ goalkeeper Neil Sullivan off his line and expertly lobbed it over his head and into the back of the net.
