Englishman David Beckham is undoubtedly one of the most well-known soccer players of recent generations. While matching his skills on the field may be a tall order, there are other ways to follow in his footsteps:

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Marry one of the Spice Girls-there's a chance that 'Scary' Spice is available, if you don't frighten too easily. Failing that, you could at least put on some Old Spice.

  2. Step 2

    Try to have more goals in life.

  3. Step 3

    Go to Disneyland and enjoy the Mad Tea Party ride-where you sit inside giant teacups that spin around wildly-three times. Then you too will have been in three 'whirled cups'.

  4. Step 4

    Becoming Captain of the English soccer team is probably not going to happen, so the closest you'll come to that is likely just eating some Captain Crunch while watching BBC.

  5. Step 5

    Since you'll never be able to 'bend it like Beckham' with a soccer ball, come up with your own alliterative catch-phrase that works for you. 'Guzzle like Gary', 'Cut class like Christopher' or 'Shoplift like Sharon' are but three possible examples.

  6. Step 6

    It's a long shot that the Los Angeles Galaxy of the MLS is going to pay you $250 million to play soccer for them. But you could possibly purchase an old Ford Galaxie for $250 and drive to Los Angeles.

  7. Step 7

    Offer to be the placekicker or punter for an Arena Football League team in exchange for only a pair of socks. Beckham gets his kicks playing soccer, and you'll be approaching that by getting your socks playing kicker.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you fail in your efforts to be the next David Beckham at least you won't have to worry about the English tabloids slamming you.
