    David Beckham is retiring at the end of his current season at Paris club, Paris St-Germain, where he is donating all his earnings to charity. This guy does things nicely..

    According to BBC:

    Former England captain David Beckham is to retire at the end of the season.

    The 38-year-old signed a five-month deal at Paris St-Germain in January and donated all of his salary to charity.

    Beckham made 115 appearances for England and 394 for Manchester United, winning six Premier League titles and the Champions League.

    “I’m thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level,” he said.

    Including PSG’s recent Ligue 1 title win, Beckham has won 19 trophies – 10 of them league titles – in a playing career spanning 20 years, and is the only English player to win championships in four countries.

    But it wasn’t all plain sailing for Beckham.

    This, from SKY News:

    There were highs and lows in Beckham’s international career. He was blamed for England’s elimination from the 1998 World Cup for his petulant red card against Argentina, but scored the winning goal against the same team at the World Cup four years later.

    Former England striker Gary Lineker tweeted: “David Beckham has retired. A wonderful player, global superstar and a magnificent ambassador for England and football.”

    Beckham has recently taken up a number of high profile roles off the pitch.

    He is the currently ambassador for Chinese football, and last month partnered with Sky to champion the benefits of youth sport.
