(115 Caps for England) It's some career when you look at it .
Still think he gets way way more stick than he ever deserved, carried the English team many a game, and who can forget that free kick against Greece? But most importantly he wore the shirt with a pride i don't think i've seen since. Not to mention a fantastic footballer, charity worker and sports personality that serves as a great role model.

No. The likes of Puskas and Cruyff were among the most influential footballers in the history of the game, they changed the way people thought about and / or played the game.

You go to any country in the world and a kid will know who David Beckham is.
He is influencial and has helped take the brand of football to a whole new level.

Different generations. Kids of today won't know who Puskas is

By and large you are probably correct. But Puskas was still influential in changing the game. For anybody in any doubt, compare and contrast the style of football played by the English clubs pre and post the defeats the Hungarians handed out.

He is certainly famous but that is not necessarily the same as influential.
Has had many slag him off in the past, but I'm not one of them. Huge fan. The only top english player to actually live up to (and beyond) his reputation in my lifetime IMO. In an era where top players are constantly in the press for all the wrong reasons, He stands head & shoulders above them all. Model professional on & off the pitch.
One of the few English players to be successful abroad, a very good player, if not quite at the all time great level, his worth is shown by the hole on the right side of midfield it's left for England.

Here here!
How many English players have played abroad and had the success he has had in the past 20-30 years. Only he stands out for me. For a player who is often labelled as 'limited' in his ability he has done alright in my eyes!
Nobody epitomized the pride and passion that should come with playing for England as much as David Beckham. He would run through brick walls for his country.
I remember back in 2008 he flew all the way over from LA to London just to play the last five minutes against Kazakhstan. He didn't complain about being on the bench. He was just delighted to pull the shirt on every single time.
I know it is a very slim possibility, but I would love him to be called up to the next England friendly just so that he can be given a proper send off at Wembley Stadium by the English fans.

It's called an opinion so disagree by all means but don't just say "no". He was one of the most influential footballers - look at how the game has moved on from a sport to a business from sportsmen to celebrities and Beckham has been pivotal to that.
I deliberately chose "influential" and not "best" because I don't think his influence can be denied - whether people like it or not.

No doubt a few will have a dig at him, but he is without doubt one of our national treasures.
Love him.

Always got the feeling that the one thing that kept him going was the oslim chance he may pull on an England shirt again.
A very good footballer and appears to be a decent bloke.

Legend and national treasure.

Very good player and probably the most committed England has seen for some time.
