David Beckham’s statue outside LA Galaxy unveiled

LA Galaxy has unveiled a statue of former England captain and ex-Manchester United midfielder, David Beckham.

The statue was unveiled outside the stadium before Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the winning goal in their MLS season opener against Chicago Fire.

At the unveiling ceremony, Beckham who owns Inter Miami said, “Today a dream came true. I am truly proud you have created something to – a – keep me young and – b – give my family and friends and especially my kids, who can come here one day very soon and see something of their father and see what we created and what I achieved.”

Former Galaxy team-mate Robbie Keane, NBA legend Kobe Bryant and US rapper Snoop Dogg all paid tribute to Beckham at the ceremony.

Beckham played five seasons with Galaxy from 2007 to 2012, taking league titles in his final two campaigns.
