After moving from Europe, the 37-year-old midfielder has gone on to reach three league finals and win an MLS title (which are just a few accomplishments from his successful career) and notably became the star player for the league’s franchise.

Beckham’s last game will be against the Houston Dynamo for the MLS Cup on Dec. 1, according to the team site.
