According to Charlton, David Beckham is Rubbish and should just stay in England and not in L.A.

And for all ya'll who don't know who Bobby Charlton is, he's one of England's and Manchester United's legendary icons.

And as far as he's concerned, David Beckham can suck his balls and call it a good day's work. Well, maybe not but apparently, Charlton believes Beckham's lifestyle damaged his football career. Heck, Charlton says Beckham should be playing in England and not the United States.

''(Beckham) was a really, really great footballer, a marvelous talent,'' Bobby Charlton said at the launch of his autobiography. ''I saw it when he was about 10 and he has a terrific talent, but his lifestyle has gone in a different direction.''

David Beckham started generating some media attention when he was playing for the Manchester United Red Devils. Yeah, sure, a young Beckham lacked power then but that didn't stop Beckham from impressing Charlton himself.

''He wanted to be a footballer as much as any young player I've ever seen and I wonder sometimes if he thinks what's happening (now),'' Charlton said at Old Trafford.

''He's in America, he's committed to making millions of pounds,'' Charlton said. ''I would rather he was playing here in England than anywhere else, that's for sure.''

David Beckham joined Manchester United in 1989 at the young age of 14. He finally made his debut in 1992 and won six titles for the Red Devils, dominating the entire English Premiere League.

Beckham then moved to Real Madrid to play in the Spanish La Liga in 2003 before joining the Los Angeles Galaxy in MLS soccer last summer on a five-year, $32.5 million contract.

''Beckham thought that a celebrity lifestyle, being drawn increasingly into the showbiz world of his wife Victoria, was compatible with the regime of a professional footballer. His manager (Alex Ferguson) did not,'' Charlton wrote.

Don't worry Mr. Charlton, soon, you'll have the chance to come to Hollywood too.
