Earlier this week, the former footballer finally received the one thing that has thus far eluded him in his 50 years of life: a knighthood for services to sport and charity."

A years-long, superficial campaign secured David Beckham the knighthood he long coveted. Team Beckham treated the honour as a moment several years in the making, and he described calling it a day as "full of emotion and tears". Earlier this week the former footballer finally received the one accolade that had eluded him in his fifty years of life: a knighthood for services to sport and charity.
