The luxurious home spanning 240 acres and dubbed
Beckingham Palace was a symbol of their status. They were followed by paparazzi and die-hard fans which made their lives a constant battle with fame.

He also shares his love for America. There are lots of stories about David Beckham but he only can express his dreams, thoughts, and challenges.
