When was Beckham's prime?

America was fascinated with Beckham and his ability to play the sport so well and his ability to inspire others. It was 2007 that culminated for Beckham a full decade of dominance. He signed a five year $250 million deal with the L. A. Galaxy team.

It is reported that within 48 hours of the signing of that contract, the Galaxy team sold more than 5,000 season tickets. This is unprecedented among any sports club or for any one athlete that has been signed on. This is not only sportsmanship, it also has a lot to do with the person and his uncanny ability to impact people in various ways.
