Having seen the attention, the plaudits, the glowing media coverage of David Beckham.. I assumed it was because Kevin doesn't play for a media team.In some ways his rep suffers because modern football is so fast. He's such a great athlete, and has to play so quickly, that some of his finest moments are over in the blink of an eye.
It's only when the ball hits the net, that we can take a pause, and I think that makes the best goalscorers stand out more than perhaps they should.
You look back at Ballon D'or winners in the pre-Messi/Ronaldo era, and it seems incredible that he doesn't have that particular bauble on his shelf.
KDB would be lauded as THE best in the world by our media if he played for their teams. They would have been promoting him for balloon door well before now and he would have got it too.
Just my opinion though having seen the reporting around utd dominance and now City dominance (and that's even taking out the charges shit).
