Wait, why is David Beckham in the PSG Hall of Fame?

Beckham is famous, but literally played 10 games for PSG.

It is a fact that famous soccer legend David Beckham is famous. It’s a fair opinion to say that Beckham is indeed a legend.

But is it fair to say that he’s legendary enough to be in PSG’s Hall of Fame?

The French giants unveiled a new re-designed website this week, which is plenty spiffy, but includes Beckham amongst a list of club legends like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ronaldinho, George Weah and Jay Jay Okocha, who actually played for PSG for substantial amounts of time.

Beckham played in just 10 league games (and two Champions League appearances) for Paris after moving there in 2013, when he was 37 years old and had just ended his stint in MLS. He never scored for the club.

They said it, not us.
