Little David always knew that he wanted to be a footballer. Growing up, he and his family supported Manchester United, and he dreamt of being part of their team. He spent years playing for local clubs and joined Manchester United's youth academy as a teen. After entering the first squad under the leadership of Alex Ferguson, it soon became clear that David was a star on the pitch.

He went on to become captain of the England team and a hero to people across the country. Away from the pitch, David had fallen in love with Victoria, a successful singer. They got married and everyone became obsessed with their love story!

A footballing legend who is loved by all, David's achievements are the culmination of a lifetime of hard work and talent.This powerful book features quirky illustrations and?extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the footballer's life.
