#1 Free-kick against Greece
David Beckham was the captain of England in World Cup 2002. Four year's back he was thrown under the bus by the media and English fans, but all of that was bound to change this time.
England was due to face Greece but needed only a single point to confirm their spot for the World cup. England's morale was on a high after they defeated Germany 5–1, abetted by a hat-trick from striker Michael Owen.
England was trailing 2-1 in injury time. In the last minute on injury time, the three lions got a free kick five yards outside the Greek penalty area.
David Beckham took a few deep breaths, ran up to take the shot and after few seconds, Old Trafford erupted in celebration. David Beckham scored "The goal" which helped England qualify for the World Cup.
It was one of the most joyous moments English fans had ever experienced and it marked his transformation from World Cup villain to a hero.
