[Saba Sports News] James Maddison recently shared in
an interview that during his early football career, he was a Manchester United
supporter and even learned David Beckham’s free kick skills. Maddison
expressed, “I was a Manchester United fan when I started playing football,
especially during Beckham’s time as a star at the club. I would wear his shirt
and practice his free kicks in my garden. I used to watch Beckham’s free kicks
repeatedly on YouTube during school. I really admire his personal documentary,
as it provides incredible insights.” Furthermore, Maddison remarked that
Beckham’s celebrity status sometimes overshadows what a remarkable player he
was and how people tend to forget about his exceptional right foot skills.
