David Beckham fans online

I hadn't been keeping count and I was hoping that Becks would be able to start again next weekend and keep this great run of form going, but the booking he picked up against Sevilla was his fifth of the season and so he is banned for one game now. It is a shame because the game report in The Indepedent singles out David Beckham's performance for special praise and he has been earning accolades for his form from many sources.

Becks has now made 104 appearances for Real Madrid in La Liga, one more than his countryman Gary Lineker, this makes him the englishman who has played the most games in the Spanish first division, story here.

David Beckham signed shirt contest

Thanks to all of you who entered the contest. It was difficult to select a winner and we really wished we had more shirts. I'd like to say thanks again to Ben for generously donating the shirt and making this possible.

Congratulations to Kristen, who won the signed David Beckham shirt, she has kindly allowed us to post her entry

I always was a fan of soccer but became a Beckham fan when I was getting picked on in school I mean they said I was going to be nothing and other stuff. I was so upset and depressed and didn't want to do anything. So I started watching soccer and I saw Beckham and just fell in love with the game and him. I did some research on him and learned about all his highs and lows. When I saw he was sent off in the 1998 world cup then he became captain of England that was amazing to me. He helped me realize that you can get knocked down over and over again just not to let anything bother you and prove others wrong and that you can do anything you want as long as you put your mind to it. So I did. That's why I'm a beckham fan.

bummer. One of his bookings was really unfair too so it shouldn't be 5, there was one time I think it was against Celta? He kicked the ball but only a second after the whistle was blown and he was already running for it but he was booked for kicking the ball away, that was a really petty booking and now he has to miss a game. I'd like to give that ref a slap.
