David Beckham: Top 10 Free-Kicks

David Beckham. One of the greatest free-kick takers of all time. But what are the top 10 he scored throughout his career?

There have been many brilliant set-piece masters throughout the 21st century of football. You’ve got the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Juninho, Ronaldinho and Andrea Pirlo – however, you’d certainly argue a case that you would take David Beckham over any of these superb players in a dead ball situation.

Beckham is a truly unique set-piece specialist. That iconic arched stance when presented with a chance from range is entirely personal to him – and it certainly produced results. Becks accumulated a total of 65 free-kick goals during his career, with some coming in the most pressurised of circumstances.

But which ones were the best? Well here at Give Me Sport we’ve decided to rank them. So let’s take a trip down dead ball memory lane as we present to you David Beckham’s top 10 free-kicks of all time.

This one epitomises the genius that is David Beckham.

Beckham had some redemption to adhere to in this fixture, having scored an own goal in the first half which saw Manchester United trail, however, a second-half free-kick more than made up for it.

An unorthodox entry to the list, Beckham takes this one quickly as he sees Brad Friedel off his line and delicately floats the ball over the Blackburn keeper into the net. Vintage Becks.

Our second entry once again comes in 2001, however this time in international colours during a friendly against Mexico.

England won this game 4-0, with Beckham netting the Three Lions’ third with a fabulous free-kick from around 30 yards out. England’s number seven sent the ball arcing around the Mexico wall and into the top corner.
