The inspiration behind no. 23

While playing for Real Madrid, David Beckham wore no. 23. In his biography, he revealed the inspiration behind the chosen number. He wrote, “On the back: 23 with ‘Beckham’ over the numerals. Nobody knew, outside the club, what my squad number was going to be. I could hear voices out in the hall: ‘Veinte y tres.’ Twenty-three. Then, a moment later: ‘Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan.’ He wasn’t just a hero for me, then.”
