David Beckham is the king of the football world,but it is his wife Victoria,former
"Posh Spice" girl,who makes it possible.She was the person who turned him from a
footballer into a global attractor.Even now that he has left Manchester United for Real
Madrid,instead of Barcelona or Milan,it might be because of her.?
"Posh Spice" has become a name for Victoria.The Collins Dictionary even has the
term "Posh and Becks" (Victoria and David Beckham).?
Before meeting Victoria Adams,Beckham was a good-looking and likeable footballer
with a bright future at Manchester United,but that was about all.?
Since he married her in 1999,he has become the most famous player British sport has
ever produced,and,some say,the most influential man in the country."When they got
together,she was clearly the more popular of the two," said Andrew Parker,a sports expert
at Warwick University in Britain."She certainly introduced him to a new circle of people
and,all of a sudden,he was a top list celebrity(名人)."?
It's believed that,behind the high walls and iron gates of their "Beckham Palace",it is
Victoria who decides everything.?
When their baby boy,Brooklyn,fell in 2000.Beckham left a United training session to
look after him,and this led to his being dropped from the team.Many were sure it was
Victoria who had asked her husband to stay at home.During a trip to the United States
this year,Victoria has worked hard to push her husband to the US public.They would not
have recognized him if they met him in a car park.?
She may appear to have taken a back seat,but Victoria is still at the forefront of the
"Posh and Beck" project.?
