Schulz went on to express his admiration for Beckham’s humility, which is not commonly found in the persona of the fashion icon. “He was kind of humble and almost respectful of this guy who was his coach since he was a teenager, which I didn’t expect from him,” Schulz said. “You know, he comes off almost like a kind of working-class bloke, but I knew him as a fashion icon. So, it’s really refreshing to see.”

Schulz’s revelation about Beckham’s personality and professional journey sheds new light on the Manchester United legend. In an era where big egos often grab the headlines, it’s a refreshing perspective to hear, given Beckham’s reputation as a fashion icon. But it is important to remember that Beckham’s roots are humble. He was born into a working-class family in East London, and his love of soccer began at a young age.
