Sad Stories of Sport Athletes in 2010
This year, a number of major incidents like serious injuries, sex affairs and controversies have made Tiger Woods and some other famous sport athletes face with sad stories in their career.
Famous Footballer David Beckham
Perhaps 2010 may be the unlucky year for David Beckham when he must deal with some sad stories that affected him so much. The famous soccer player previously dreamed of playing for England in a fourth World Cup and worked hard to make his expectation come true. Unfortunately, the 34-year-old midfielder suffered one serious injury in AC Milan – Chievo football match, which meant that he had no chance to join the tournament in South Africa starting on June 11. His sadness doubled after England couldn’t reach the World Cup Knock-out.
