In a bold attempt to bolster soccer interest state-side, the Los Angeles Galaxy spent a hefty $250 million to bring over international sensation David Beckham for the 2007 season and beyond. Beckham joined fellow World Class players Cobi Jones and Landon Donovan, giving the Galaxy enough star power to compete with any of the LA sports teams.

While it benefited the team’s cheque books (ticket sales were through the roof), it didn’t do much to improve their chances on the pitch. The Galaxy finished 10th overall in the MLS. Beckham would end up appearing in just five games all year, scoring as many goals as you and me did in the 2007 MLS season — zero.
