13 years ago today, David Beckham delivered for England with this cracking free kick

England fans turned on Beckham after he got sent off against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup, but this moment of brilliance bought him a lot of goodwill amongst the supporters. If Beckham’s free was a person, they would be in first year now – crazy to think it was that long ago.

Probably one of the greatest moments of his career too.
