LOS ANGELES - David Beckham called his former team LA Galaxy his “family” and thanked Los Angeles for embracing him at the unveiling of his statue before the Major League Soccer club’s season-opener on Saturday.
The statue, a first for an MLS player, honors the former England captain who was the first big European name to join the league, boosting its popularity and paving the way for other global stars to make the leap. “Our city, our home,” Beckham said outside the Galaxy’s home stadium, the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, before their opener against the Chicago Fire.
“When I talk about LA Galaxy and when I talk about LA, I talk about it as family because it is a big family.”
