#3 David Beckham
Beckham's inclusion on this list may be a surprise to some people, given how well regarded as a global icon of soccer and fashion, but, but in purely footballing terms, there is no doubt that his career declined after leaving United.
At United, he was part of the famous 'Class of 92' a bunch of local lads who powered United to the very pinnacle of the game. Scoring from the halfway line against Wimbledon in 1996 is one of the stand-out moments of his career.
He also had a unique talent for crossing, passing and set-pieces. But his time was up as soon as 'he became bigger than the club' (according to Sir Alex Ferguson), and he exited in 2003 for Real Madrid, where he stayed for another 4 years before signing for LA Galaxy in 2007.
From this point onwards, Beckham seemed to concentrate on off-field interests more than football dropping out of the England Team. Eventually, he ended his career with a short-lived spell at PSG, which seemed to be more of a publicity stunt, rather than anything to do with football.
