Man, I can't believe the magical words of David Beckham aren't on here. Disclaimer: I'm a huge Becks fan and have been since day one but man he has never been the sharpest tool in the shed. David Beckham----My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7. Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had. Interviewer: 'Would it be fair to describe you as a volatile player?' David Beckham(misunderstanding and thinking the word used was versatile): 'Well, I can play in the centre, on the right and occasionally on the left side.'
