In the movie Love Actually, the Prime Minister (played by Hugh Grant), in a press conference, said in part:

“…Britain. We may be a small country but we’re a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham’s right foot. David Beckham’s left foot, come to that.”

He must have a good basis for his claim about Becks:

In August of 1996, a young Manchester United midfielder began to make a name for himself on the legendary club. David Beckham struck one of the most impressive goals in years when he scored from beyond the halfway line, with a long and accurate strike that caught Wimbledon goalkeeper Neil Sullivan off his line.

On May 24, 2008, David Beckham again made a 70 yard goal against Kansas City Wizards.
