Look who's beck in town !


He first arrived as a 13-year-old , a boy who won a Bobby Charlton competition and spent a summer in Salford on trial. He departed in 2003 as David Beckham, Manchester United superstar, England captain and global icon.
Time has come for Beckham to play against his old club again in an emotional Champions league enocunter tonight ,with a club that has given him a lifeline to his falling career to play in the world cup  this summer.
Its Manchester United Vs AC Milan at the Theatre of dreams, tonight for a place in the quarter finals.
Utd look favourites with a comfortable 3-2 lead from the first leg, which means Milan have to win by 2 goals margin atleast.

Whichever team wins, it wont be a happy night for Beckham. However professional he might sound, dumping out his beloved club with whom he had a love affair for so long will not make him proud. On the other hand, defeat at the hands of Utd virtually ends his final chances of showing his quality on the european stage , which puts his world cup chances into question.
Whatever the result may be, Beckam is sure to get a rising ovation from the fans who will never forget his curling free-kicks and pin point crosses that played a major part in so many trophies they won.
Even Alex Ferguson, who flung a boot at him, which eventually resulted in Becks leaving the club, will be looking to have some wine with him later ,ofcourse after making sure Utd are through to the next round !
