His career has seen a whirlwind of ups and downs, not
to mention a whole lot of press. Fans blamed his infamous red card in
the 1998 World Cup in France for Eng's elimination. Yet many consider
his superb play during the 1998-1999 soccer season as the reason why his
team, MU, enjoyed unprecedented success. Love him or hate him, his skin
is thicker than an elephant's considering all the abuse and adoration
he has received.
Talent-wise, few can compare to him. He is often quoted as the player
likely to break the world record transfer fee of $52 million US, held by
Portuguese midfielder Luis Figo. How good is he? Well, let's just say he
has a tendency to score goals from a very, very long distance. Try 57 yards.
That doesn't seem like much, but to put it in perspective, most kickers
in the NFL can't hit a ball that far, much less at a target much smaller
than a football field's goal posts... and with a goaltender. His blonde
hair, his chiseled model looks, or his athleticism, we're sure that quite
a few women across the world became mad on him.
Sometimes David wishes he wasn't so famous; the attempted kidnapping
of his pony Jack Brooklyn is the kind of event that makes you want to disappear
into oblivion. His throng of fans brings him extra publicity, but it also
brings more critics, including those who attempted to lynch him for his
1998 World Cup red card. Despite the harsh environment, Legham has continued
to improve his play on the field. On the international level, he is a regular
on the national team, scoring countless goals. During his tenure at MU,
he has won 4 league titles, the F.A. Cup and the prestigious Champions League
Cup. He plays 30 times a year in front of some of the world's most ardent
fans. Imagine, playing in front of 80,000 fans cheering you on while millions
more at home praise your name. |

I
love playing soccer. I was mad with MU since my child hood. My
dreams came true, I was very much excited when I got selected into
MU, it was a great bray for me. All my games were always flooded
with crowd. I take risky challenges always. One day it was a great
match between our team and Florida team. The match was in crucial
position. The Florida team captain whispered to my ears “Lets
make a deal in the Time Breaker, you have to do same side goals.
If you put more goals I will give you worn-out shoe, If I do more
you have to do the same” I said I don’t have that worn-out
shoe, but I have worn-out shorts which I thought of auctioning
after without washing for years. He agreed for that. I played 5
goals in my side. He was unable to put even a single same side
goal. Alas!!!! I’ve won the bet and got that worn-out shoe.
It was one of the great bets I had with game.

I
remember that FIFA match, I was about to kick the penalty shot, and
Argentina midfielder was covering me. I was stunned what to do, but
something sparked on my mind. I jumped over the ball and kicked Argentinean
Ass. Oops…. He fell on the spot, then I was adjudged 100 beat
on my ass by the jurisdiction. It was a worse unlucky day for me.

The Great match for me is the winning of European Cup. It was a tough
time for our team at spring. We were fighting with Brazil. The star
players Rivaldo and other two R’s were on their nick. The come
out with one goal lead. Five minutes later I took the ball and luckily
headed to goal and that bring par in that match. Last two minutes
left in that game. I donno what to do, fortunately I got the ball
to hit, the star players were trying to take the ball. There was
a big blast of sound in the ground, the stars were stunned and I
made the goal very easily. Still no one knows how we won the cup,
it was only me who knows the secret of my win over the tough team.
It was the dexterity of stinky thunderous fart which helped me to
win the European Cup. It lasts in my memory for ever. |
