Xiaobei was officially announced, and Manchester United printed the jersey to congratulate! The jazz dream is finally realized, but you still need to bow your head when you meet someone

Sir David is exempt from being flat! Manchester United legend David Beckham was officially knighted at King Charlton's birthday party, and the heartthrob said he was very proud. As the most famous player of all time, Little Beybes was awarded the title of Jazz for his contributions to sports and philanthropy. This also fulfilled his unfulfilled dream for the past 10 years, becoming the 16th footballer to enter the knighthood.

Beckham, who grew up in London, said: "My parents and grandparents were very patriotic and proud to be British, and I never thought I would be so honoured and a little ashamed. It's the greatest honour of my career to be able to play for my country and captain it's made my childhood dream come true."

Beckham added: "Off the pitch, I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to represent the UK around the world, working with incredible organisations that support communities in need and inspire the next generation. I'm lucky enough to be able to do what I do, and I'm grateful that everyone recognizes my work and gives me such a great sense of satisfaction. It will take me a little time to understand the news, but I am very proud and for me, it is an exciting time to share with my family."

A member of the prestigious Class of '92, Beckham won 12 trophies at Manchester United, including the treble in 1999. In a congratulatory statement, the club said: "We at Manchester United warmly congratulate David Beckham on this well-deserved accolade. Since joining our Academy at the age of 14, David has become not only an indelible legend for the football club for 35 years, but also an outstanding ambassador for English football as a whole. David, we salute your achievements and thank you for your tremendous contribution to Manchester United."

Manchester United have printed a new shirt with the number 7 and "Sir David" (Sir David) on the back as a knighthood gift for Becky. The England midfielder has only worn the number 7 shirt at Manchester United during his club career, and he is proud to have inherited the number of Old Trafford' 'King' Eric Cantona's retirement.

Becky became the fourth Jazz in Manchester United's history, the others being Sir Matt Busby, Bobby Charlton and Sir Alex Ferguson. In fact, he may have expected himself to be knighted sooner, as he was awarded the OBE in 2003 at the age of 28 and should have been promoted earlier, but he didn't expect to wait until after his 50th birthday.

British knighthoods are conferred either on the New Year's Day or on the "official birthday" of the reigning monarch in June. Awarded by a senior member of the royal family on the advice of the public, politicians and senior government ministers, which are reviewed by an independent Honour Council.

It is reported that Xiaobei has longed for this title for a long time, but has not appeared on this honor list for many years. Most recently, he was close to being knighted in 2022 when he very openly spent 13 hours queuing to pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth, who was buried in Westminster. However, he was not selected because he was embroiled in a homosexuality-related controversy before the World Cup in Qatar.

In 2011, Becky, who also considered himself eligible for a knighthood, played a role in helping London win the 2012 Olympics, but the Sun's revelation that he was suspected of tax avoidance shattered his jazz dreams. After the scandal gradually subsided, in 2017, Xiaobei was caught in another storm because the email that bombarded the Honours Committee was leaked.

However, Beckham has been close to the royal family over the past two years, and his efforts have finally paid off when he was recently seen smiling in line at the Chelsea Flower Show to greet King Charles, who was derided for "just liking to stand in line......

Although Beckham and his mentor Lord Ferguson are already both knights, even if they are of the same level, if they meet an old lord, Beckham still needs to "bow down".

"Freud does make me nervous, it's a sign of respect for the coach and it always will be." "One time at an event, he sat at the table behind me and I drank a glass of wine. As we all know, we United players never drink in front of the coach, and even after the Champions League win, when he walked into the room, everyone saw me, Scholes, Bart, Ryan Giggs hiding under the table. It was the same this time, when I found him sitting behind me, I subconsciously blocked my wine glass with my body so that he couldn't see it! That's how big he has done to us!"
