Aside from the glamour, David Beckham brought to the Premier League a range of passing it had never experienced.

His right foot set the Premier League alight on the opening weekend of 1996/97, when he scored for Manchester United from the halfway line at Wimbledon.

He tormented opponents with whipped, curling crosses that were impossible to defend and easy for team-mates to score as United claimed six titles with Beckham.

And from free-kicks the winger scored 18 Premier League goals, a total no player has threatened.
