Summary
For our final Guide To… of the summer, we could only end on football’s headline act making hay in Hollywood. Nope, it’s not Lionel Messi moving to Inter Miami - it’s David Beckham’s move to LA Galaxy back in 2007!
From his box office debut - when he was properly injured - through to controversial loan moves back to Europe and eventual success, it remains one of world football’s most culturally significant transfers. But who did it actually benefit? The Galaxy? The League? Brand Becks?
Marcus, Luke and Jim are on hand to roll back the years - join us!
