I voted for becks not because that I do so due to blindly supporting United.. First of all.. all the players mentioned are great free kick takers. But why I choose Becks is because of his accurary (he is also the best dead ball passer or crosser in the world.. well.. back then definitely during his prime).. what impresses me is his technique of taking those kicks... He uses his side foot to place the ball to it's position, which is very very hard to do. Johan Cruyff once commented about it and was very impressed. Maybe this has to do with the fact that his left leg is shorter than his right (this was found during his Real Madrid medical checkup), so he is capable of swinging his right leg and placing the side of his feet to the ball in such way..

Didnt know his left is shorter than his right leg. No wonder when he takes those kicks, there's a certain angle that he's standing. I've noticed that many times and here's what i'm talking about.![]() ![]() |

My vote goes to Beckham. I especially like the excitement he generates whenever he steps up for one. Win a foul just outside the area and the commentators will go, "This is Beckham territory bla bla bla." Kinda like the Mcmanaman Special. Pretty obvious that opposition players quake in their pants when they give away a foul near the box. Cameras will be clicking and fans will be on their feets. Such is the pull of Beckham and his freekicks. I like how it's whipped with the inside of his right peg and how the ball curves above the wall and dips just in time to go under the bar. Top drawer stuff. Juninho comes in a close second imo.

And also the free kick goal he took during the UCL match vs FC Barcelona at home. I watched a slomo video of the goal he scored and trust me.. it was totally 100% using his side foot.. he didn't dip it using his front surface of his kicking foot (like normally how people tend to do when they kick/cross or take free kicks). Very impressive tecnique.. sadly nowadays, Beckham's technique is not as good as before. |

I think one of the most important freekick goal he ever scored was the equalising goal for England against Greece that put them in Euro 2004. Its like the last minute of the game and they won a freekick in the 'Beckham area' and when he struck it, i think he was like the most popular guy in England at that point.Remember the 2 late goals came from Beckham's corner kicks.
