 Trivia section 

I've just removed this (again). Per WP:Trivia, there should be not be trivia sections in articles. →talk  

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:TRIV#What_this_guideline_is_not

There are a number of pervasive misunderstandings about this guideline and the course of action it suggests:

 This guideline does not suggest removing trivia sections, or moving them to the talk page. - If information is otherwise suitable, it is better that it be poorly presented than not presented at all.
 This guideline does not suggest always avoiding lists in favor of prose. - Some information is better presented in a list format.
 This guideline does not suggest omitting unimportant material. - This guideline does not attempt to address the issue of what information is included or not — only how it is organized.

that is not what the above guideline seems to state. 

 Capped off His Cap in Style?? 
 
So much for NPOV there.  What is with the ""who just capped off his career in style"" line?  Not only is that not keeping with a neutral theme, it is an update that really can't last more than a few weeks once he joins the Galaxy.

 I'd say it's factually wrong, cos he hasn't finished his career, so he hasn't ""capped his career"" at all yet.  Removing.  If someone objects, they can put it back and give reasons why here. 
 Additional words: OK, it does say ""capped off his Real Madrid career"" so it isn't factually wrong.  Changed line anyway to something more plain, but agree that intro should probably be reworked as it doesn't read completely encyclopaedic. 

 Lead section too long 

In my opinion, the lead section needs a serious overhaul, as it's to large and encompasses to many points that could and should be in the main article (see Wikipedia:Lead section).  (Yabba Dabba Doo!) 
The lead is ridiculous at the moment. I would have a go at cutting it down but it's best waiting until   the article is more stable. →talk  

Dave  The guidelines say the lead should be about four paragraphs, but that would be the norm.  David Beckham is not a normal article, as the subject is a major figure in current news now.  I agree wholeheartedly with your post here.  I am going to try to help make it shorter.
 

 Multiple links 
Article has multiple redundent wikilinks - link not needed for every mention of 2007 or Real Madrid for example, especially not in the same paragraph.  (Yabba Dabba Doo!) 
Sorry, you have clearly not understood that linking years when adjacent to linked date/month is not done just for the sake of wikilinking - it is required to allow all user-selected date formatting options to work, therefore I have reinstated the links.    19:22, 4 July 20
