When you limit your playing career to Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, Milan and Paris Saint-Germain (and represent the English national team for 14 years), you're inevitably going to play alongside some of the world's best players. What's more, if you're a really great passer of the ball, which David Beckham was, you're going to provide a few classy assists for that talent.
Beckham played with some great forwards in his career (Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Teddy Sheringham, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ronaldo, Raul, Michael Owen, Filippo Inzaghi, Andriy Shevchenko, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane, Ezequiel Lavezzi, Wayne Rooney, etc.), but every single one of these forwards will tell you that Beckham made their jobs pretty simple at times.
Here are some of the greatest passes from one legend of the game to another.
