David Beckham was nothing like what Real Madrid expected him to be

David Beckham was the perfect galactico signing for Real Madrid, he was one of the best players at that time and due to his brand value, the money spent on his signing was easily recovered by the Los Blancos.

Beckham was one of the most industrious players for Madrid and he matched it with his quality on the ball.

During his four year stay in the Spanish capital, he only managed to win one La Liga and one Supercopa De Espana.

But his performances were always impressive for the Spanish giants. He also won the club's player of the year award in 2005.

The former Manchester United winger was also one of the fan favorites. When he came many insisted that he is here to sell shirts.

But he quickly won over the Real Madrid fans by scoring on his debut against Mallorca in Super Cup Espana. He also helped Madrid win their first match away to FC Barcelona in 20 years.

The reason why Madrid fans still love him is not because of his good looks but for him being a great footballer on the pitch.

They expected a pretty boy from England, but what they got was a proper fighter. He had no big player ego like other galacticos.

Despite being a star player he played out of position and so many times covered for his teammates as well.
