WELL, DAVID BECKHAM is retiring. We all knew this day had to come sometime, so I suppose we’d better just accept it.
It really is going to be a shame though, not seeing him on the pitch.
We’ll still see him around, tg, but it is a momentous time. A time which we’d like to mark by celebrating all the hairstyles of David Beckham’s career.
1989, The Spike
Becks was signing his schoolboy papers for Manchester United in the photo, on his 14th birthday.

1998, Curtains
There they are, looking lank and greasy as he announces his engagement.

1998, Wet Look
Wet look highlights were a key Becks look in the late 90s. He is to blame for many a teenage girl’s hand getting stuck in her boyfriends hair during a romantic moment.

2000, Thug Life
Here is is giving his best thug during the Euro 2000 match between England and Portugal. He’s actually making that rude gesture at England fans, would you believe.
But he looks great, doesn’t he?

2001, The Mohawk
Everyone wants a pointy head, right?

2002, The Fauxhawk
Everyone still wants a pointy head, right?

2003, The Low Pony
It’s a romantic look, one he embraced the day he received his OBE from the queen.

2003, The High Pony
For lighter, more fun occasions, like receiving his first Real Madrid jersey.
Matthew Ashton/EMPICS Sport
2003, Cornrows
He refers to this now as his biggest fashion faux pas to date, saying he must have been drunk when he decided they were a good idea.
Admittance is the first step, Becksy.

2004, Long and Lank
It’s just not a good look, is it?
Sean Dempsey/PA Archive/Press Association Images
2005, Mulletesque
This is a bit mullety, but a move away from bright blonde, representing his desire to be taken more seriously.
(We made that up. We have no idea why he moved away from blonde but we reckon it was a good idea.)

2006, The Spike Mark 2
Taking it back to the old school, Becks employed a loose quiff for a while.

Does anyone age better than this man? Perhaps not.
