Manchester United and England legend David Beckham's long wait for knighthood has come to an end.

One of football's most famous faces, Beckham made his United debut in 1992 before winning six Premier League titles. He went on to become one of England's greatest players, earning 115 senior caps -- 59 of which as captain.

Beckham also played alongside fellow Galacticos Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo at Real Madrid before made a trailblazing move to LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer. He ended his career in Europe with spells at AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.

ESPN looks back at his storied career, in pictures.
