Reference News Network reported on June 15th, according to AFP on June 13th that former England football captain David Beckham was awarded the Jazz title on the 13th for his contribution to sports and charity.

Beckham has made 115 appearances for England, and has also played for the world's most well-known football clubs such as Manchester United and Real Madrid. Now, his name will be titled "jazz" before, and his wife, former hot girl group member Victoria, will also be called "Mrs. Beckham".

Beckham said in a statement: "I grew up in East London, my parents and grandparents were very patriotic and proud of being British, and I never expected to be such an honor. I was lucky enough to have a job like this and I am grateful that this job has brought me such a great satisfaction."

Beckham's honor is the result of his unremitting efforts over the years. He not only contributed to football, but also grew to become a representative figure in the fields of sports, fashion and business.

Mary Agnes Palmante, professor of marketing at the University of Montreal, Canada, said the honor is one of the highest honors awarded by the British government and "a powerful symbol of symbolism".

In his sports career, Begham also experienced many twists and turns. During the 1998 World Cup, Argentina eliminated England and advanced to the semi-finals, and Beckham became the "English sinner" because he was sent off by a red card in the game. When Beckham was young, he was reported by various tabloids for wearing sarongs, wearing makeup and exotic hairstyles.

It is reported that after Beckham helped London win the right to host the 2012 Olympics, authorities were originally considering awarding him the title of jazz. But authorities have doubts about his nomination due to his alleged involvement in a tax avoidance program. However, he was later proven innocent. (Translated by Pan Xiaoyan)
