David Beckham has been retired from relevant soccer for long enough now that many younger people know him simply as a guy who turns up at fashion shows, looking handsome in a squinty sort of way, with his posh wife Victoria, or maybe appearing on the covers of magazines, like he's done today on the cover of a magazine called Love.

The magazine quotes many passages of their interview with Beckham which have nothing to do with eyeliner and are rather about soccer since Beckham is, after all, a soccer player: "the first time I stepped onto a football pitch, that I can remember, I was seven years old," he says, describing himself as "that kid in the corner that didn’t really say much. I knew that once I was on the field, I was confident. It was all I ever wanted: to be a professional footballer.”
