To mark the retirement of former England captain and international superstar David Beckham, new football video game Lords of Football is adding an update to feature a Golden Ball in replays of successful trademark Beckham free-kicks – a reference to the nickname “Golden Balls” as associated with David Beckham by the British public and tabloid press.
The update is announced as Lords of Football receives a 33% discount on Steam – yet another reason for gamers and football fans alike to get involved in the action.
Beckham made 115 appearances for England and 394 for Manchester United, winning six Premier League titles and the Champions League. He then moved abroad where he conquered La Liga in his final season in Spain and also won the league in France with Paris Saint Gemain along with the MLS championship twice.
