The 2001-02 season saw David Beckham reach a personal peak in goalscoring, netting a career-high 16 goals across all competitions as a vital engine in Manchester United’s midfield. This centenary campaign was defined by his world-class delivery and tireless work ethic, highlighted by iconic strikes against Deportivo La Coruña and a stunning long-range effort against West Ham.
