Sir Alex has made a bold decision in selling Becks and I hope Man Utd get appropriate replacements for him.
It is a sad day for English football as a whole and I felt it was appropriate to do this thread to thank him for everything he has done at United and for England, to wish him and his family all the best for the Future.
Whilst I can see someone like Ronaldhino making an impact up front when we're doing well, I don't think he's the type of player that would keep going when 3-0 down at half time. Remember White Hart Lane from a couple of seasons ago?
How many tap-in's did Beckham score over the last couple of seasons too? A fair amount, simply because he reads the game so well now. Many of those pinched goals came at times when we only won by 1 goal.
He was a vital player for us, and it's sad to see he go for reasons other than footballing ones. It's money and his relationship with Ferguson that did it.
So, best Beckham momnets?
Scoring from half way against Wimbledon.
30+ yard fee kick against Porto.
The Scholes volley for Beckham's corner.
Scoring the fifth against Tottenham, just to really rub it in.
That goal against Deportivo, before they cruelly took him out of the game.
Oh, and coming on against Real and scoring two goals. We may have lost the tie, but he won us the match, and showed why he should have been on from the start.
I'll miss him, and I hope he does well at Real.
I hope he gets a good reception at Old Trafford when England visit to play Liechenstein

Just like you had agreed a deal with Beckham Mr Laporta? I think the Iraqi information minister has a spanish cousin.
Newly-elected Laporta is under pressure to sign a big-name player with pulling power and commercial value after his election campaign was based around signing Beckham from the eight-times Premiership champions.
But the 28-year-old England captain subsequently decided to move to arch-rivals Real Madrid instead.
And Laporta now wants to bring United target Ronaldinho to the Nou Camp from French club Paris St Germain.
The Barca president's press secretary Juan Jose Castillo said: "It is no secret that Ronaldinho is one of the players we are looking at.
"He has always been on our list as have other top players. A deal is very close with Ronaldinho."
=P

He could always do what Schmeical did and join the Villa.
=D
Still remember the 50-yard goal against Wimbledon in 1996. Fantabulous!
