Product Information
The inside story from behind the scenes of David Beckham's first year at Real Madrid. Beyond race, faith, politics, class, sex or age, football is the great global religion. One of the most striking phenomena of the early 21st century is how the popularity of the game the British invented 150 years ago has exploded, attracting millions of new devotees. Women everywhere are flocking to the game, as are the hitherto pagan peoples of China, Japan and the United States. At the epicenter of this vast but benevolent explosion are David Beckham and the club he joined in 2003, Real Madrid. White Angels looks at how David Beckham?s transfer took place, the machinations and intrigue behind the deal. It exhaustively details Beckham?s first year at Real, how him and his wife and family acclimatized to life in Spain, and how he fared on the field itself alongside the such global stars as Figo, Zidane, Carlos, Raul and RonaldoProduct Identifiers
