The career of David Beckham, at the elite level at least, is seemingly over following his Achilles tendon injury last weekend. The global superstar could very well never see the top flight again.

If this is indeed the end, then it’s a good time to look back on his career, especially the moments that helped turn him into a global icon.

So many of those moments came through his trademark free kicks, which led to the much-spoken phrase “bend it like Beckham”.

The below clip is a highlights reel of Beckham’s best free kicks.

From his days at Manchester United to the English national team and beyond, he sure knew how to find the back of the net.
