David Beckham 'humbled and proud' as England football legend is knighted in King’s Birthday Honours

David Beckham, former England football captain, was knighted in the King’s Birthday Honours for services to sport and charity in 2025.
The knighthood followed a nomination process involving independent honours committees that review achievements in sport and other areas.
David Beckham represented England internationally 115 times, captaining the side on 59 occasions, secured league championships across four different countries, and played a key role in establishing the MLS team Inter Miami.
He expressed that coming from a family in east London who deeply valued their British heritage, he never anticipated receiving such a profoundly humbling recognition, and Manchester United extended their heartfelt congratulations to him.
This honour reflects Beckham’s international influence in football and charity and implies continued recognition of his contributions beyond his playing career.
