Arguably the most recognised sportsman in the world, ever, David
Beckham, at 28, has weathered several lifetimes' worth of speculation,
rumours, adoration and insults--and now he claims to be setting the
record straight. Beckham has been at the heart of some of the biggest
stories in British football for a decade or more, and it's all here
including: kung-fu Cantona; scoring from the halfway line; that
Champions League Final; 1998 World Cup disgrace; 2002 World Cup glory;
feuding with Fergie and the boot in the face; right through to entering
the pantheon at Real Madrid in 2003. My Side fairly roars
along from one headline-grabbing incident to another. Of course
Beckham's passion for his game, and the challenges of preparation and
performance, is the driving force behind the narrative, but we are
rarely allowed to lose sight of the celebrity bubble in which ol'
Golden Balls exists, as one half of Britain's other Royal family. At
which point a souring note of reality must be introduced into this
tell-it-like-it-was memoir. The problem is that we know Beckham so
well. He is well established as a charming, courteous interviewee, for
whom an inevitable and growing PR savvy has tightened his tongue,
though not dimmed a natural warmth and enthusiasm, but he's equally
well known to be, (how to put it?), not great with words. The bald fact
is that, in public at least, Beckham has never uttered a single
sentence half as vivid or coherent as those in My Side the
voice with which we are all so familiar is entirely absent. Good thing
too perhaps--400-odd pages full of "er" and "kinda like" would
grate--but the polish that collaborator Tom Watts applies does lend
this first-person narrative an air or unreality that some readers will
find hard to disperse. That said, the result is a fluid, readable and
hugely entertaining stroll through an extraordinary life, with a
genuine sense of intimacy, a generous spread of colour photos, and some
intelligent things to say about football and celebrity, despite the
reservations about diluting the Beckham "essence". --Alex Hankin |
