FORMER ENGLAND FOOTBALL captain David Beckham has backed a vote to remain in the EU.
In an Instagram post today, Beckham said the great Manchester United teams he played on were improved by “a Danish goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel, the leadership of an Irishman Roy Keane and the skill of a Frenchman in Eric Cantona”.
He said the world had to work together and was “vibrant and connected”.
But, where does that put Beckham in terms of famous people?
