Of course, David Beckham knows a thing or two about wins to remember. Sending the message with a beautiful, almost last-second finish to put the goose bumps on numerous lips, the global beauty in football felt he had no choice but to share his feelings publicly about Salford City FC and somewhat privately about the late win. Being able to culminate for the exhilaration of grabbing those three points at time’s almost down was probably what Beckham said: “Great win today @salfordcityfc ❤️ Can’t beat a late winner 🦁.”
The post triggered an avalanche of comments from Beckham’s massive following not long after. Countless followers among the huge array appreciated the moment or expressed their affinity with it. Another, visibly fuming, commented, “Can’t believe I missed you David 😍❤️”; while a local fan expressed, “Thank you from Salford 👏❤️,” appreciating Beckham’s continual support for the club.
Beckham’s outfits always seemed to have grabbed attention. Users couldn’t help but comment on his outfit today. One, maybe sarcastically, wondered if Beckham was “dressed for winter 😳😳!! It was warm today,” the quintessential British appreciation of style. Another chimed in, “Giving major Thomas Shelby vibes 🔥” — that streetwise sharp-dresser from Peaky Blinders clear-cut parallel that David must have laughed at.
The fans commenting are proof of Beckham’s international standing. One fan in Armenian wrote, “Lean beck, lean beck, lean beck, lean beck 🇦🇲.” On this side of the world, a follower coming from Indonesia took the moment to introduce himself: “I’m Adam from Indonesia. My wife has been chronically ill for the past five years. I’d like some help to grab some liver medication” — a down-to-earth reminder of how much Beckham’s platform is making a difference for those in desperate need.
Serious remarks got upstaged by the British humor. One user wondered: “Why is Dave Gardner your shadow everywhere you go! 😂” While another insisted, “shoulda told gary to try dip a custard cream in that brew,” must’ve made Beckham chuckle for sure.
Classic kit sponsorship made one fan reminiscent of Beckham’s playing days: “Red and AIG looks familiar 😍😍🔥🔥,” while another screamed, “Get your boots on Dave,” a sentiment that would probably have gained traction from almost every football fan.
Since the takeover in 2014, through their partnership with Beverley Beck, himself a co-owner of Salford City FC, the club and leading-flight news have particularly benefited in evolution. Surely, his promotion road-show hints at interest in pushing the club through the English football pyramid.
The variety of reactions to Beckham’s Instagram post testifies that he is an all-round personality stretching partitions of international football culture-from a fashion icon standing alongside Global Fashion to a club owner and to a completely humanitarian person. From lighthearted interactions to completely serious engagements, all comments share one common trait: true interaction with an athlete whose charm continues to engulf the world surrounding him. Just by celebrating a football victory, Beckham has allowed such diverse reactions to becross-cultural and cross-contextual.
