David Beckham's Nice Message To Zinedine Zidane On Zidane's Birthday

David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane played together at Real Madrid as Galacticos, and it appears that time has carried over into a nice friendship after both international superstars' careers have ended.

June 23 was Zidane's birthday, and Beckham didn't miss an opportunity to pay his respects to his old friend, posting a nice message on Instagram. You probably don't want to hear me talk anymore, or you just skipped this part and went straight to the Instagram post. I don't blame you. David Beckham is admittedly more interesting than me.

Happy birthday my friend... To a man that would never like to be called a genius but truly is in so many ways... Professional , hard working , beyond talented and one of the nicest human beings you could meet on and off the football field... THE BEST @zidane
