What about David Beckham?

He definitely played at least a couple of old Pontins League matches at Bramall Lane (I kept a couple of the programmes when Man U came as my Dad quite obsessively said "Keep an eye on that lad, he'll be a star" even from the warm up- it was Paul Scholes).

Anyway, in one of those Beckham's listed as right back. And in another (I believe it was about 6-1 to them) someone floated probably the best goal I've ever seen from just inside the halfway line out on the right wing over Sal Bibbo... someone's said on here before that was definitely Beckham. He was playing so it'd definitely add up!!

What about David Beckham?

Someone mentioned he potentially played in a Pontins Reserve game.

As far as professional games go, Beckham has never played against United at any stadium. Here are the games during Beckham's time with Man Utd. He wasn't in the squad for any.

 

[Bell4]

Keegan played and scored in the 1-1 draw at the lane in 1971

He did

What a goal from Currie

 

[programmechap]

No

If reserve games count , Im pretty sure Beckham played at the Lane for Man Utd reserves 1993ish

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

The answer is Thierry Henry.

 

[VictoryBlade]

Did George Best ever play at the lane? that was not a charity match.

Yes I saw him play alongside Rodney Marsh for Fulham, cant remember the year though. Sorry, already been mentioned!

Rodney Marsh, Bobby Moore and Best played in the October 1976 match. A year later it was just Best out of the three.

Over the years I've had the pleasure (and.sometimes the pain) of seeing the likes of Ronaldo, Cantona, Shearer and Haaland play at Bramall Lane. But who are the best players who never had the career highlight of playing at Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane? I might be wrong but I don't think Beckham, Hoddle, Henry or Keegan ever got to play at the Lane? (I'm referring to players who played in the English league so not the likes of Messi.

cough

Not sure about the Lane but he and the rest of the Class of 92 definitely played against United reserves at Saltergate.

Definitely at Bramall Lane too with Dion Dublin as skipper!

 

[Slim Man]

Henry is the right answer

 

[S64 Blade]

Guessing Henry was injured in 06/07 home game?

I remember he played at the Emirates.

 

[ATL Recs]

I never knew we played them pre season in 84.

I remember it day after I arrived back from Benidorm with full tan and it was red hot here but can’t remember who played

Henry is the right answer

"Ballers in God" seems to suggest that Henry has played at Bramall Lane

 

[Bell4]

Don’t think Eusabio ever played at BL

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Cheers mate. I thought for a minute it might have been Mick Henderson...who's still playing football by the way!!

Mick Henderson sat a few rows behind me in the South Stand last Saturday

 

[WeareBlades]

I can't recall Bale playing at Bramall Lane

Sure he did during his second spell at Spurs? think he scored past us as well.
