LA Galaxy to honour Beckham with statue

LA Galaxy have announced they will unveil a statue devoted to David Beckham next month.

The MLS side revealed via a mass email to season-ticket holders that the statue will be unveiled at Dignity Health Sports Park on March 2 ahead of their opening league game of the season against the Chicago Fire.

Beckham made 122 appearances for the Galaxy during a five-year spell in California. However, he was not always the most popular with the club’s fans and was even jeered at times for his decision to join AC Milan on loan on two separate occasions, which forced him to miss part of the MLS season.
