Former Manchester United star David Beckham's time at LA Galaxy has paid huge dividends once again - after it was revealed that his surprise move back in 2007 has earned him almost half a billion pounds in revenue and saved costs.
Beckham shocked the footballing world when it was announced he was set to leave Spanish giants Real Madrid for LA Galaxy in 2007 - at the age of just 32. Amassing 188 appearances in his six seasons for the Galaxy, Beckham's on-field won the MLS Cup twice in a row in 2011 and 2012 but his impact off the pitch was huge - lifting the MLS brand around the world.
He took a pay cut to move Stateside, earning a base wage of £5.4million per year as opposed to his reported £16.6m salary in the Spanish capital. However, a superb Twitter thread has come to light highlighting how Beckham actually earned more than £42m per year during his time in the US.
