David Beckham may be best-known for pinpoint crossing, bending free-kicks into the top corner, and being a ridiculously handsome and all-round lovely bloke, but he also had one hell of a shot on him. If this list were a bit longer, Becks would actually appear twice, as a strike against Liverpool registered at 80mph. As it is, he makes do with just one spot, coming against Chelsea back in 1997. There's only one video I can find of it, and it's awful quality, but it's included anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHjfuBtAeFQ
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
