     David Beckham is the king of the football world,but it is his wife Victoria,former 
"Posh Spice" girl,who makes it possible.She was the person who turned him from a
 footballer into a global attractor.Even now that he has left Manchester United for Real 
Madrid,instead of Barcelona or Milan,it might be because of her.?
     "Posh Spice" has become a name for Victoria.The Collins Dictionary even has the
 term "Posh and Becks" (Victoria and David Beckham).?
      Before  meeting Victoria Adams,Beckham was a good-looking and likeable footballer
 with a bright future at Manchester United,but that was about all.?

look after him,and this led to his being dropped from the team.Many were sure it was 
Victoria who had asked her husband to stay at home.During a trip to the United States 
this year,Victoria has worked hard to push her husband to the US public.They would not 
have recognized him if they met him in a car park.?
