David Beckham's stunning goal against Wimbledon on the opening day of the 1996/97 season marked a milestone in his career and Manchester United's dominance. At just 21, Beckham of the Class of 92 squad showcased unbelievable skill, striking a long-range effort that left the crowd in awe. This goal served as a punctuation on their rise, demonstrating their capability and resilience, especially in light of previous skepticism from pundits like Alan Hansen. The momentum from that season propelled United to further glory, establishing Beckham as a true footballing icon.
When he hit it, I thought, 'You cheeky bastard' laughs Pallister to FourFourTwo. The ball was in the air and I was thinking, 'The gaffer is going to kill him'.
Beckham and his Class of 92 cohort were the propelling force behind the Red Devils' 1995/96 Premier League title win, making a mockery of pundit Alan Hansen's infamous 'you can't win anything with kids'.
