True, although the man who sticks out as the exception to this has to be Ryan Giggs.

Agree with that 100%, he's my idol! Always been my favourite player. I met him after a game once and he signed my programme for me, it didnt show up properly so he went and got a different pen and signed it again! top, top bloke :D

Quite ironic from the guy who made this thread asking others for help to do his project :)

That just shows you exactly what a fool you are, The topic above is beneficial to the club and the thirty or forty people I have spoken to about it are all in agreement. It needs to be a topic that has a full inclusion of as many supporters as possible, but hey ho there was no way you'd know that as all you ever do is find something to nit pick about.

I gotta argue that point as I'd say that David Beckham is an absolute legend and a fantastic role model.

In order to be able to write a good complaint I need other peoples views on them as well, positive and negative would be nice. It could be on any aspect of them the crazier the better.

Thanks

You want us to do your homework ;)
Not at all, just doing some research into others opinions as the complaint has to show both sides of the topic.

There was a deliberate wink at the end of my quote, indicating that I was of course joking.

Throughout the latter years of his career maybe, but he too has been involved in his fair share of controversy.

Great player for United and England, (and I loved him throughout the 90s and early 00s) and I'd say a good role model now, but was accused of a couple of affairs if i remember rightly?

All ALLEGED affairs tbh. The way Becks dealt with the aftermath of the 98 sending off and continued to play in England even though he was hated universally, says loads to me.
